ESSIC associate research scientist Yong Chen published a new article in the February issue of IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing titled “Calibration Algorithm for Cross-Track Infrared Sounder Full Spectral Resolution Measurements.” Chen leads a CICS task on calibration and validation of the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) on the Suomi NPP and new JPSS-1/NOAA-20 satellite. The article documents a new calibration algorithm for the CrlS.

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)
