ESSIC Scientist Santiago Gasso is first author on a new paper in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics that provides an overview of aerosol sources of circular polarization in the atmosphere and discusses possible remote sensing signatures.
ESSIC Scientist Santiago Gassó participated as speaker in and chaired several sessions during the Surface-Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) Summer virtual school, which was held June 13-17,2022. He taught a remote sensing module on June 13, chaired the Atmospheric deposition and ocean biogeochemistry session, and co hosted the Science Writing and Social media Workshop on June 14. He was also a judge for all poster sessions and a photography competition held throughout the week.
On the occasion of Earth Day, ESSIC Scientist Santiago Gassó was interviewed by several international and domestic media outlets for Spanish audiences. The interviews consisted of brief live and recorded video segments meant to highlight NASA’s commitment to Earth science observations since its inception.
Santiago Gassó is one of the co-authors in the recently released science plan by the US Surface Ocean – Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), a global and multidisciplinary research project established to provide international science coordination and capacity building. SOLAS is focused on understanding the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere that are critical elements of climate and global biogeochemical cycles.
On December 1 -3, two members of code 613 participated in an international workshop hosted by the European agency Eumesat and the SOLAS project: “Remote Sensing for Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions Studies and Applications Workshop”. The meeting had an assortment of presentations and discussion panels as well as demonstration of the web and cloud interfaces available for data discovery. Santiago Gassó (ESSIC) participated as one the science organizing committee members, as a panelist and convener.
ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Santiago Gassó was a keynote speaker at the international Blowing South: Southern Hemisphere Dust Symposium held November 8-10, 2021 and organized virtually from Chile. The talk was given during the Present-day: Dynamics session and it was entitled “Southern South America dust activity in relation to long range transport to Antarctica and the Southern Ocean”. No recording was taken of the talk, but slides are available upon request.
ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Santiago Gassó was reappointed as a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Surface Ocean – Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) for another 3-years term.
ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Santiago Gassó was one of the convenors of the session “Atmospheric nutrient deposition and microbial community responses, and predictions for the
