Tony Busalacchi and Raghu Murtugudde were quoted in PhysOrg, December 6, in an article on ESSIC’s Chesapeake Bay Forecasting System (CBFS). The CBFS focuses on research that looks at how all the earth’s environmental systems fit together using data from NOAA, USGS, NASA and the USDA, as well as on-site sensors and satellite observations.
![Satellite seasonal temperature difference maps indicate how the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and its organisms may respond to the temperature changes. Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2-150x150.jpg)
