The Special Issue “Weather Forecasting and Modeling Using Satellite Data” aims to bring together current state-of-the-art research about the use of geostationary and/or polar orbiting satellite data in weather prediction from short-term to sub-seasonal and seasonal scales. Weather prediction can refer to deterministic or probabilistic frameworks with single or multi-model ensembles that utilize satellite data and/or develop new techniques to integrate the two and improve weather forecasts. Research related to the above topics will be considered for publication in Remote Sensing under the Special Issue.

We are well on the 3rd week of the summer research program and our students are working hard on their research projects. We had a great field trip to the Eversource Berlin campus yesterday where we visited the CONVEX, the Systems Operations Center, and the Incident Command Center! Students had the opportunity to talk with the Eversource project leads over lunch and better understand how their research applies to important utility operations.
Here is a photo of the entire group, faculty and students, outside the Systems Operations Center! Angie, Lily, Roxie, Ryan and Bill, thumbs up!
Our group together with the Eversource managers outside the main building in the Berlin campus. Thank you all for a great day!
Congratulations to Catrina for winning the poster competition at CMAS 2016! Three student posters were the winners. Quoting the CMAS announcement:
“Dear All,
Thank you for participating in the 15th annual CMAS conference last week. The poster sessions included 28 student posters which were reviewed and judged by the members of the CMAS External Advisory Committee (EAC) to select the best student posters for each day. Members of the EAC had a tough job due to the high quality of student posters. Each poster received scores based on the following metrics; originality, clarity and visual quality, presentation, conclusions drawn, and presenter’s response to questions.
The following three student posters are the winners of the 2016 CMAS Conference Student Poster poster competition:
Day 1:
Incomplete sulfate aerosol neutralization despite excess ammonia in the eastern US: a possible role of organic aerosol. Presented by Rachel F. Silvern, Harvard University
Day 2:
Prediction of harmful water quality parameters combining weather, air quality and ecosystem models with in-situ measurements. Presented by Catherine Nowakowski, University of Connecticut
Improving Cloud Prediction in WRF Through the use of GOES Satellite Observations for SIP Modeling. Presented by Andrew T. White, University of Alabama, Huntsville. ”
Sooo proud!
Catrina (Catherine Nowakowski) won the Summer 2016 SURF award and she will be working with our group, Dr. Penny Vlahos (MARN) and Dr. Valerie Garcia (EPA) this summer. Exciting research ideas and anticipated outcomes. So proud of Catrina! More information can be found here.
Jaemo and Huiying received pre-doctoral fellowships from the Environmental Engineering program for their excellent academic performance. Congrats!! Keep up the good work!
