From page 73... ...
His current work focuses on development of empirical models relating radar backscatter to near-surface winds; characterization of centimetric ocean surface roughness and atmospheric mesoscale phenomena using satellite measurements; and development and application of advanced statistical validation techniques.

From page 74... ...
She interprets satellite observations from altimetry and scatterometry, with the goal of understanding physical processes controlling ocean climate. She is a member of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
|
From page 75... ...
His research interests include remote sensing of vegetation, bioclimatology, terrestrial ecosystem modeling theory, and regional hydrologic and carbon balance responses of forests resulting from global climate change. He is a member of the science team for NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, and he chaired NASA's Land Panel for the Earth Observing System (1999)
|
From page 76... ...
He has led numerous advanced sensor development studies and proposals for polar and geosynchronous Earth observation, as well as planetary exploration. He also managed the mid-1990s Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Block 6 studies and Polarorbiting Operational Environmental Satellite 2000 studies leading to Raytheon's participation in the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS)
|
From page 77... ...
In recent years, he has directed advanced development and commercialization of satellite and nonsatellite oceanographic techniques for diverse research and coastal applications, including sewage, storm runoff, and other pollution effluent monitoring (using optical, infrared, and synthetic aperture radar sensors) ; high-resolution surface current detection (using infrared, synthetic aperture radar, and optical imagery)
