Associate research scientist, Hongbin Yu and colleagues at UMBC (Lorraine Remer) and NASA (Ralph Kahn, Mian Chin, Yan Zhang) published a review paper in the Atmospheric Research journal entitled “Satellite perspective of aerosol intercontinental transport: From qualitative tracking to quantitative characterization.” Yu was invited by the editorial board to contribute this piece following his invited presentation at the 2011 Goldschmidt Conference in Prague, Czech Republic.
![Satellite seasonal temperature difference maps indicate how the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and its organisms may respond to the temperature changes. Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2-150x150.jpg)
