Last month, an article titled “Mapping of Snow Depth by Blending Satellite and In-Situ Data Using Two-Dimensional Optimal Interpolation—Application to AMSR2” was published in the journal Remote Sensing by co-authors Cezar Kongoli, ESSIC/CISESS associate research scientist, Tom Smith, ESSIC/CISESS visiting research scientist, and Jeff Key, chief of NOAA’s Advanced Satellite Products Branch.
Over 20 ESSIC/CISESS scientists and students attended this year’s AGU conference and many more contributed to talks and poster presentations. The talks included:
Youtong Zheng, ESSIC/CISESS Post-doctoral Associate, has been awarded the prestigious Yuxiang Early Career Award in recognition of his research and achievements. This award is administered by the Chinese-American Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (COAA) and the PIESAT Information Technology, Co., Ltd.
ESSIC Visiting Assistant Research Scientist Alejandro Egido recently won the prestigious and highly competitive NOAA Dave Johnson Award, given annually to recognize the achievements of young professionals who have shown outstanding innovation in the use of satellite data for operational environmental applications. This award has been previously won by another ESSIC scientist, Scott Rudlosky.
