ESSIC/CISESS scientists Post-doctoral Associate Yan Zhou and Senior Faculty Specialist Chris Grassotti have recently published in article in Remote Sensing titled “Development of a Machine Learning-Based Radiometric Bias Correction for NOAA’s Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS)”.
In July, ESSIC and CISESS Director Ellen Williams participated in the National Academies Workshop on Enhancing Federal Clean Energy Innovation, a series supported by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to identify strategies for accelerating clean energy innovation across the federal government.
As part of the support to the NOAA/NASA Ocean Surface Topography Science Team (OSTST), ESSIC/CISESS scientists Sinéad Farrell and Kyle Duncan have been developing datasets
Liza Goldberg, ESSIC researcher and NASA student research assistant, was recently featured in a Washington Post article for her research on mangrove loss. Last July, Goldberg published a paper in Global Change Biology that used Google Earth Engine tools to map the global drivers of mangrove loss.
The ESSIC/CISESS lightning team, composed of Scott Rudlosky, Mason Quick, Jonathan Smith, and Daile Zhang, organized and presented at the 2020 annual Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Science Meeting earlier this month.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Xi Shao, Sirish Uprety, and Wenhui Wang have been working with METImage, one of the major payloads on EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation (EPS-SG), which is expected to be launched in 2023.
Last week, ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Santiago Gassó was quoted in several news outlets on the unusual high levels of West coast smoke over the Washington area on September 14 and 15.
A paper co-authored by ESSIC Research Scientist William Lau, Professor Zhanqing Li, scientist Weichen Tao, and AOSC Graduate Student Lei Zhang was recently published in Geophysical Research Letters.
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) onboard the GCOM-W1 satellite captured Hurricane Laura, the deadly Category 4 hurricane that hit Louisiana in late August. AMSR2 is a remote sensing instrument used to measure weak microwave emission from Earth’s surface and atmosphere. SCSB- and CISESS-led products captured Hurricane Laura at various stages of development. Visiting Assistant Research Scientist Scott Rudlosky shared several images to his Twitter feed, which show considerable lightning around the eye wall during Laura’s intensification.
Last June, NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission, an ongoing effort to monitor changes in polar ice, was awarded a Robert H. Goddard award for Science Teams. On this team is Alek Petty, ESSIC Associate Research Scientist, who has made substantial contributions as a member of the missision’s Project Science Office.
