Natural disasters such as hurricanes have been affecting thousands of people annually with devastating consequences such as loss of life, vegetation and infrastructure. Vegetation losses such as coastal erosion, downed trees and...
Although spheres and spheroids have been used extensively by researchers as convenient models to approximate "snowflakes" when computing their microwave scattering properties, recent research indicates that the scattering properties of...
Accurate and replicable measurements of changes to land cover from drought conditions are essential for monitoring ecosystem disturbances. Techniques designed to measure land cover changes have been developed using data from remote...
In order to study the impact of climate change on the Earth's hydrologic cycle, global information about snowfall is needed. To achieve global measurements of snowfall over both land and ocean, satellites are necessary. While satellites...
This study explores whether or not tropical cyclone (TC) structure information may be retrieved from satellite total ozone observations and how to link total ozone with analysis fields for potential application to TC vortex...
High frequency microwave instruments are increasingly used to observe ice clouds and snow. These instruments are significantly more sensitive than conventional precipitation radar. This is ideal for analyzing ice-bearing clouds, for ice...
Oil spills are a frequent occurrence in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). They occur by two principle processes: natural oil seepage and accidental spills during petroleum extraction, transportation, and consumption. Marine oil spill can be...
The measurements from Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) have been extensively used for atmospheric temperature trend study during last several decades. The existences of inter-sensor biases and...
Tropical cyclone intensity prediction is an issue at the forefront of mesoscale numerical weather prediction efforts because it is an area where historically there have been only small improvements, and yet much more progress is needed...
Occupying a significant share of the urban landscape in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), informal settlements are the home to nearly one-quarter of the urban population in this region. Mapping land cover and informal settlement...
Applying 21st century machine intelligence to the evolving transportation management systems is under detailed investigation all around the world. The major goals of this investigation are quite noble and multifaceted including safety, ...
