Moradi Speaks to Howard County Interns
ESSIC Research Scientist Isaac Moradi presented a talk on October 19, 2021 as part of the Howard County High Schools G/T Intern/Mentor program on the Earth and Space Science fundamentals.
ESSIC Research Scientist Isaac Moradi presented a talk on October 19, 2021 as part of the Howard County High Schools G/T Intern/Mentor program on the Earth and Space Science fundamentals.
Isaac Moradi (ESSIC/GMAO) presented a talk entitled “Assimilation of microwave radiances over the rainbands of tropical cyclones” in the WCRP-WWRP Joint Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Christopher Grassotti and Xingming Liang are co-authors in a recently published study that documents the first ultraviolet radiance assimilation for atmospheric ozone in the troposphere and stratosphere. The paper, titled “Experimental OMPS Radiance Assimilation through One-Dimensional Variational Analysis for Total Column Ozone in the Atmosphere”, was published in Remote Sensing and includes co-authors from the NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Li Fang, Jifu Yin, Mitchell Schull, and Jicheng Liu collaborated on a chapter in Global Drought and Flood: Observation, Modeling, and Prediction titled “Remote Sensing of Evapotranspiration for Global Drought Monitoring”.
Congratulations to Xin-Zhong Liang, newly elected Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). This honor is an apt recognition of his vigorous multidisciplinary research efforts and notable achievements.
The Dashboard for Agricultural Water Use and Nutrient Management (DAWN) launched its website today. This marks the latest development of the UMD led project to provide farmers and water managers across the Corn Belt with the most relevant and reliable information for farm-level decision-making.
To embrace the rapidly evolving field of AI/ML, ESSIC launches the ESSIC AI Forum and a one-day workshop: “On the Pathway to a Digital Earth”.
ESSIC/CISESS Associate Research Scientist Isaac Moradi is the PI of a proposal selected by NASA ROSES to assimilate measurements from active spaceborne radars into NASA GEOS model. The project will benefit from CloudSat CPR and GPM DPR observations and will be conducted in collaboration with Co-Is from NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office and the Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes Laboratory.
As a now traditional part of the ESSIC end-of-year Holiday Party, two annual peer awards were presented to honor the year’s Best Paper and the Employee of the Year. This year, Director Ellen Williams presented these awards to Toshi Matsui, Associate Research Scientist, as well as Donna Gray, Coordinator, and Luther Clark, IT Coordinator.
ESSIC/CISESS Associate Research Scientist Isaac Moradi is convening and chairing three sessions at the American Geophysical Union Fall meeting, occurring virtually this year due to COVID-19. The sessions are “Data Assimilation, Reanalysis, and Observing System Simulation Experiments I”, “Data Assimilation, Reanalysis, and Observing System Simulation Experiments II Posters”, and “Calibration and Validation of Satellite Earth Observation Systems I Posters”.
