ESSIC scientist Weston Anderson is lead-author on a new paper that suggests that African food insecurity is being driven by an uptick in violent conflict. In the study published in Nature Food, Anderson worked with researchers from Columbia University, New York University, and Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory.
Isaac Moradi (ESSIC/GMAO) presented a talk entitled “Assimilation of microwave radiances over the rainbands of tropical cyclones” in the WCRP-WWRP Joint Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis.
Research conducted by ESSIC/AOSC scientist Ross J. Salawitch is featured in a new Washington Post article on the North Pole ozone hole that formed last year.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Huan Meng and Yongzhen Fan have recently developed a new machine learning snowfall detection (SD) algorithm, based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). The algorithm was developed for the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) onboard NPP and NOAA-20 as well as the MHS/AMSU-A onboard Metop-A, Metop-B, Metop-C and NOAA-19.
ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientist Zhuosen Wang is a co-author on a letter in Science titled “Retired Satellites: A Chance to Shed Light” alongside researchers from the Universities Space Research Association, German Research Centre for Geosciences, Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, Earth Observation Center, and Northern Arizona University.
ESSIC scientists Kimberly Slinski, Christa Peters-Lidard, and Abheera Hazra are co-authors on a new study that discusses terrestrial water storage (TWS), a metric that provides important information on terrestrial hydroclimate and may have value for seasonal forecasting because of its strong persistence.
ESSIC Post-doctoral Associate Natthachet Tangdamrongsub is a co-author on a new study in Water Policy that aims at the solutions to mitigate flood and drought damage to agriculture. For this international paper, Tangdamrongsub worked alongside researchers from the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi in Thailand and the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Christopher Grassotti and Xingming Liang are co-authors in a recently published study that documents the first ultraviolet radiance assimilation for atmospheric ozone in the troposphere and stratosphere. The paper, titled “Experimental OMPS Radiance Assimilation through One-Dimensional Variational Analysis for Total Column Ozone in the Atmosphere”, was published in Remote Sensing and includes co-authors from the NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Li Fang, Jifu Yin, Mitchell Schull, and Jicheng Liu collaborated on a chapter in Global Drought and Flood: Observation, Modeling, and Prediction titled “Remote Sensing of Evapotranspiration for Global Drought Monitoring”.
This month, NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) completed two product development milestones, to implement an improved Four-Month Coral Bleaching Heat Stress Outlook and develop the methodology for a new, prototype Coral Reef Resilience product.
