ESSIC Visiting Assistant Research Scientist Huan Wu has a new paper in Journal of Hydrometeorology titled “Assessment of Precipitation Error Propagation in Discharge Simulations over the Contiguous United States” alongside Naijun Zhou from UMD’s Department of Geographical Sciences.
ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Xi Shao, Sirish Uprety and Wen-hui Wang are contributors to a new book, Remote Sensing of Night-time Light, to be released on August 10th. Their chapter is on the assessment of straylight correction performance for the JPSS Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) day/night band using Dome-C and Greenland under lunar illumination. This book captures key methodological issues associated with pre-processing night-time light data, documents state of the art analysis methods, and explores a wide range of applications.
ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Zhipeng Wang, Fangfang Yu, Hyelim Yoo, Haifeng Qian and Xi Shao have been honored with a SPIE Journal of Applied Remote Sensing 2020 Best Papers Award for their article, “On-orbit calibration and characterization of GOES-17 ABI IR bands under dynamic thermal conditions”.
ESSIC/CISESS Post-doctoral Associate Daile Zhang was recently featured by The National Lightning Safety Council to discuss her role in the lightning safety effort. In the feature, Zhang talks about what drew her to lightning, specific projects she’s working on, and the future of lightning research.
ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientists Yuling Liu, Peng Yu, and Heshun Wang are co-authors on a paper titled “NOAA20 and S-NPP VIIRS Land Surface Temperature Product Validation and Inter-Comparison” alongside Yunyue Yu, scientist at NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research.
