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.
Joe Munchak, the NASA GPM Deputy Project Scientist for Ground Validation (GV), will be leaving NASA at the end of this week to pursue a career in the private sector. Muncak has served in this role since 2010, when he left ESSIC. Dave Wolff will be filling Munchak’s position at NASA, after being with Goddard since 1988.
ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Xin Jing, Xi Shao, Tung-Chang Liu and Bin Zhang (STAR/SOCD) have a new article in the July 2021 issue of Atmosphere titled “Comparison of GRUAN RS92 and RS41 Radiosonde Temperature Biases”.
Alexey Mishonov, ESSIC/CISESS Associate Research Scientist and NOAA Affiliate, has a new article in press and published in the journal Limnology and Oceanography titled “Recent Warming and Decadal Variability of Gulf of Maine and Slope Water”.
ESSIC/CISESS Scientist Qingyuan Zhang and their colleagues have developed a framework to compare Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Flood Inundation Maps (FIM) with Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) FIM.
Ralph Ferraro, previously the Chief of the NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research, Satellite Climate Studies Branch (SCSB) and ESSIC Visiting Associate Research Scientist, has been named the Associate Director of Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) starting August 1, 2021.
