Eric Hughes and Wilfrid Schroeder et al. developed the project “Real-time Automatic Estimation of Volcanic Ash Cloud Heights” which has been unanimously approved for implementation by The NESDIS Satellite Products and Services Review Board (SPSRB). The project employs an iterative technique that compares satellite observations of volcanic SO2 and Aerosol Index from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (used as a proxy for volcanic ash) with numerical modeling computations from the volcanic ash …
Sinead Farrell was acknowledged for participation on the IceBridge Science Team when NASA presented the 2011 Group Achievement Award to the Team for exceptional achievement in support of NASA’s IceBridge campaign. IceBridge, a six-year NASA mission, is the largest airborne survey of Earth’s polar ice ever flown. It will yield an unprecedented three-dimensional view of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, ice shelves and sea ice. These flights will provide a yearly, multi-instrument look at the …
Hiroko Kato Beaudoing was honored by the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center’s Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences (HOBI) Laboratory with an Annual Award for her implementation of an automated, end-to-end process for generating drought indicators based on NASA data and disseminating them to the U.S. Drought Monitor community….
