ESSIC scientists John Xun Yang, Yalei You, and Ralph Ferraro are co-authors on a new paper in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that describes a newly developed adaptive window for calibration on microwave sounders at EUMETSAT and NOAA.
Ten ESSIC scientists participated at the 10th Workshop of the International Precipitation Working Group (IPWG), held in Ft. Collins, Colorado, June 13-17, 2022.
In the newly released 2022 Top Scientist rankings by Research.com, 18 University of Maryland researchers ranked among the Top 1,000 Environmental Sciences researchers in the United States, and seven ranked among the Top 1,000 worldwide. Of those 18 UMD scientists, 6 are ESSIC scientists.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists John Xun Yang, Yalei You, and Rachael Kroodsma are co-authors on a new paper in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing alongside Sidharth Misra from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and William Blackwell from MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Blackwell is also a two-time speaker for the ESSIC Seminar Series, the most recent of which can be viewed here.
The STAR scientist team of Huan Meng, Yongzhen Fan, Jun Dong, and Yalei You examined the performance of snowfall estimates from the passive microwave snowfall rate (SFR) product for the late season snowstorm that hit Washington and Oregon on April 13. The storm set the local record for most snow accumulation this late in the season, causing power outages and road closures across Portland, Oregon.
A new article in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing details the new updates to the special sensor microwave imager/sounder for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Version 7 Data Suite. Rachael Kroodsma, ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientist, was first author on the paper.
ESSIC/CISESS scientists Yalei You and Sarah Ringerud have a new paper out in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing along with University of Minnesota scientists Sajad Vahedizade and Ardeshir Ebtehaj and F. Joseph Turk from Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The paper is titled “Passive Microwave Signatures and Retrieval of High-Latitude Snowfall Over Open Oceans and Sea Ice: Insights From Coincidences of GPM and CloudSat Satellites”. You leads a CISESS task on developing and assessing the NOAA Alaska Regional Snowfall Rate Product.
The MiRS Science Team, composed of ESSIC/CISESS scientists Yong-Keun Lee and Christopher Grassotti, as well as NOAA STAR scientist Mark Liu, published a paper this week titled “In‐Depth Evaluation of MiRS Total Precipitable Water From NOAA‐20 ATMS Using Multiple Reference Data Sets” in Earth and Space Science. Lee was the first author of the study.
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting was held virtually this year from January 23 to 27. Simultaneously, AMS held a number of specialized conferences and symposiums, focusing on topics including hydrology, climate variability and change, and atmospheric chemistry. ESSIC/CISESS scientists contributed a large number of talks and posters at the event. Talks included:
ESSIC/CISESS Scientist Veljko Petković co-authored a study on the application of new and emerging field of BDL concepts to mitigate problems associated with the accuracy of precipitation retrievals from satellite-borne passive microwave (PMW) radiometers, which was published in IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters.
