CISESS Scientists Alexey Mishonov and Jim Reagan are co-authors on a new article titled “Upper Ocean Temperatures Hit Record High in 2020” published in the April 2021 issue of Advances in Atmospheric Science.

ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientists Bailing Li and Jessica M. Erlingis are authors of a paper in the Journal of Hydrometeorology titled “Groundwater Recharge Estimated by Land Surface Models: An Evaluation in the Conterminous United States”.

Dr. Zhanqing Li, Professor at ESSIC and University of Maryland’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, was recently appointed onto the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) by the Chair of the National Research Council.

An interactive status page has been produced for each WSR-88D radar to illustrate the relative occurrence of lightning and severe weather in the context of varying radar status.

Some western and central states experienced a strong winter storm on March 13-15. The experimental satellite-radar merged snowfall rate product (mSFR) previously covered in ESSIC News demonstrated how satellites could fill in radar gaps in regions with limited or no radar coverage.

ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientist Jessica M. Erlingis is first author on a new paper out in Journal of the American Water Resources Association titled “A High‐Resolution Land Data Assimilation System Optimized for the Western United States”. Her co-authors include ESSIC/CISESS scientists Bailing Li and Sujay Kumar as well as researchers from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, University of Saskatchewan, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the California State Water Resources Control Board.

Thank you to Deb Baker, CISESS Coordinator, and Ralph Ferraro, Chief of the NOAA/NESDIS Satellite Climate Studies Branch, for compiling the summary slides for STAR and Cooperative Institute presentations from the American Meteorological Society’s 2021 Annual Meeting!

A group of NOAA scientists, including several from ESSIC/CISESS, are producing a satellite snowfall rate product operationally at near real-time using measurements from passive microwave radiometers aboard ten satellites.

ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientists Yuling Liu, Peng Yu, and Heshun Wang are co-authors on a paper titled “NOAA20 and S-NPP VIIRS Land Surface Temperature Product Validation and Inter-Comparison” alongside Yunyue Yu, scientist at NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research.
