ESSIC Scientists Present at NCWCP-UMD Mini-Conference

Recently, researchers from NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP) and University of Maryland gathered for a mini-conference to share presentations from recent conferences such as the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and American Meteorological Society (AMS) annual meetings. 

 

ESSIC/CISESS Scientists were among some of the selected talks. The following researchers all gave 15-minute presentations:

 

    • Peng Yu, “The Status of the Land Surface Temperature Product from GOES-18”
    • Erin Jones, “Expanding the Use of CrIS Observations in Global Data Assimilation and Forecasting at NOAA: Methods, Findings, and Future Steps”
    • Likun Wang, “VIIRS Radiance Cluster Analysis within CrIS Supporting NWPData Assimilation”
    • Xi Shao, “Enabling VIIRS Sensor Data Record Validation with a New Global/Regional Validation Site (GReVS) System”
    • Jifu Yin, “Refinement of NOAA AMSR-2 Soil Moisture Data Product using an Optimal Machine Learning Model”
    • Katherine Lukens, “A Novel Archive for the Intercomparison of Winds from Multiple Observing Platforms Provides a Long-term Evaluation of Aeolus L2B Winds”
    • Isaac Moradi, “Enhancing CRTM all-sky simulations and implementation of a new active sensor module”
    • Yongzhen Fan, “Machine Learning Enhanced Snowfall Rate Retrievals from Passive Microwave Sensors”
    • Veljko Petkovic, “Uncertainty Estimates of ML-based Satellite Products”
    • Wenhui Wang, “A Study of Global Deep Convective Clouds (DCC) Changes Using 10 Years of Suomi NPP VIIRS Reprocessed Level 1B Data”
    • Rachael Kroodsma, “Status of the GPM Intercalibrated Microwave Radiometer Constellation: 35 Years of Observations for Long-term Precipitation Studies and Beyond”
    • William J.S. Miller, “Evaluating the Impacts of COSMIC-2 Radio Occultation Bending Angle Assimilation on HWRF Tropical Cyclone Forecasts”
    • Fangfang Yu, “On-orbit radiometric calibration performance of GOES-16/17/18 ABI IR channels”
    • Jonathan Poterjoy, “Fully non-parametric data assimilation for geophysical models”
    • Tianfeng Chai, “Power Plant SO2 Emission Estimation Using Aircraft Measurements and HYSPLIT Dispersion Modeling”
    • Guangming Zheng, “Chesapeake Bay HypoxAI: Hypoxia forecast using artificial intelligence”

In addition, there was a poster session that featured work from ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Daile Zhang, Joseph Patton, Jun Dong, Guangyang Fan, Malarvizhi Arulaj, Jeannette Wild, Peter Beierle, Jingjing Peng, Corinne Carter, and Hui Liu.
