ESSIC/CISESS Associate Research Scientist Lin Lin has a new article in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing titled, “Associations of Hurricane Intensity Changes to Satellite Total Column Ozone Structural Changes Within Hurricanes”.
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.
