HRD Seminar – Dr. Isaac Moradi, ESSIC, University of Maryland & NASA/GSFC/GMAO – 19 April 2019
Dr. Moradi presented a seminar titled “Assimilation of Satellite Microwave Observations in the Rainband of Hurricanes Using Bayesian Monte Carlo Technique“. ABSTRACT: We propose a novel Bayesian Monte Carlo Integration (BMCI) technique to retrieve the profiles of temperature, water vapor, and cloud liquid/ice water content from microwave cloudy measurements in the rainbands of tropical cyclones […]

2019 Hurricane Field Program Plan now available
One of the key aspects of NOAA’s Mission is, “To understand and predict changes in the climate, weather, oceans, and coasts…” with a long-term goal of achieving a, “Weather-ready Nation,” in which society is able to prepare for, and respond to, weather-related events. This objective specifies the need to improve the understanding and prediction of […]
