ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Yalei You, John Xun Yang, and Jun Dong have a new article on using “morphing” to improve rain data from cross-track scanning radiometers. The paper, titled “Improving Cross-track Scanning Radiometers’ Precipitation Retrieval over Ocean by Morphing”, is in press at the Journal of Hydrometeorology.
ESSIC/CISESS Scientists John Xun Yang and Hu Yang have a new article in press at IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing titled “A New Algorithm for Determining the Noise Equivalent Delta Temperature of In-Orbit Microwave Radiometers”.
Congratulations to Xin-Zhong Liang, newly elected Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). This honor is an apt recognition of his vigorous multidisciplinary research efforts and notable achievements.
Joe Munchak, the NASA GPM Deputy Project Scientist for Ground Validation (GV), will be leaving NASA at the end of this week to pursue a career in the private sector. Muncak has served in this role since 2010, when he left ESSIC. Dave Wolff will be filling Munchak’s position at NASA, after being with Goddard since 1988.
ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Xin Jing, Xi Shao, Tung-Chang Liu and Bin Zhang (STAR/SOCD) have a new article in the July 2021 issue of Atmosphere titled “Comparison of GRUAN RS92 and RS41 Radiosonde Temperature Biases”.
Alexey Mishonov, ESSIC/CISESS Associate Research Scientist and NOAA Affiliate, has a new article in press and published in the journal Limnology and Oceanography titled “Recent Warming and Decadal Variability of Gulf of Maine and Slope Water”.
