ESSIC/CISESS Post-doctoral Associate Daile Zhang was recently featured by The National Lightning Safety Council to discuss her role in the lightning safety effort. In the feature, Zhang talks about what drew her to lightning, specific projects she’s working on, and the future of lightning research.
ESSIC Visiting Assistant Research Scientist Tiangang Yin is a co-author on a recent article in Remote Sensing titled “Modeling Mean Radiant Temperature Distribution in Urban Landscapes Using DART”.
CISESS Scientists Alexey Mishonov and Jim Reagan are co-authors on a new article titled “Upper Ocean Temperatures Hit Record High in 2020” published in the April 2021 issue of Advances in Atmospheric Science.
ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientists Bailing Li and Jessica M. Erlingis are authors of a paper in the Journal of Hydrometeorology titled “Groundwater Recharge Estimated by Land Surface Models: An Evaluation in the Conterminous United States”.
Some western and central states experienced a strong winter storm on March 13-15. The experimental satellite-radar merged snowfall rate product (mSFR) previously covered in ESSIC News demonstrated how satellites could fill in radar gaps in regions with limited or no radar coverage.
A group of NOAA scientists, including several from ESSIC/CISESS, are producing a satellite snowfall rate product operationally at near real-time using measurements from passive microwave radiometers aboard ten satellites.
On January 21, ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Scientist Guangming Zheng gave a presentation on retrieving chlorophyll concentrations from the GOES-16 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) using Deep Learning techniques as part of the 2nd NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences.
From revoking the permit on the Keystone XL natural gas pipeline to starting the process of reversing Trump-era polices on national monuments, endangered lands and species, and energy exploration, the environment stands near the top of President Joe Biden’s immediate agenda. The centerpiece was an Inauguration Day executive order to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, negotiated by the nations of the world (with key oversight from a Terp) to head off the devastating effects of climate change, from famines to coastal flooding.
ESSIC/CISESS Professors Ross Salawitch and Russell R.Dickerson as well as ESSIC/CISESS Assistant Research Professor Hao He have a new paper in Atmospheric Environment titled “Using near-road observations of CO, NOy, and CO2 to investigate emissions from vehicles: Evidence for an impact of ambient temperature and specific humidity”. The paper’s co-authors also include Dolly Hall, Xinrong Ren, and Timothy Canty from the University of Maryland’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science and Jennifer C. Hains, Daniel C. Anderson, and Cory R. Martin.
Sujay Kaushal, ESSIC and Department of Geology Associate Professor, recently published a paper in Water Research alongside co-authors from the University at Buffalo’s Department of Chemistry, UMD’s Department of Geology, and private firm Hazen and Sawyer.
