Physics lab instructor Professional synopsis: My scientific career has been devoted to the promotion of the use of remotely sensed products from meteorological satellites for application to the weather forecasting process. Specifically, my emphasis has focused with time on the determination of moisture and atmospheric stability, derived from vertically profiling satellite sounders (primarily of those in geostationary orbit). Starting with polar-orbiting sounders in the late 1970s, through research demonstrations with the first geostationary sounders in the 1980s, and on through the operational geostationary sounders that came in the later 1990s, I worked with real-time and historical case study sounding data to show how frequent and well-spaced sounder retrieval information could provide an impact on forecasts. As the US satellite community discouragingly waits for the next step in the evolution of geostationary sounders (to that of hyperspectral capability (i.e. at thousands of spectral wavelengths), beyond the current limited filter wheel radiometers, with just tens of spectral channels), I continued to assess the quality, integrity, and application of the current retrievals. As these low vertical resolution geostationary profiles will persist for the near future (at least another decade), I have sought to demonstrate and exploit those situations in which the retrievals do improve upon the forecast first-guess. - developed and used expertise in McIDAS (Man-computer Interactive Data Access System) to analyze satellite retrievals and demonstrate their applications in support of the NOAA and CIMSS development of radiative transfer algorithms for satellite derived vertical profiling (by W. L. Smith, H. Woolf, and F. Zhou; C. M. Hayden; M. X. Lin; and J. Li and Z. Li) - worked with National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters, at local, regional, and national forecast offices, to learn, access, examine, and use satellite soundings - worked with CIMSS and other NOAA researchers to demonstrate, implement, and verify the transitions of the latest retrieval algorithms into NOAA/NESDIS operations (the latest being the “Li” version in 2013)
Awarded NOAA Bronze Medal - 1999 - Group award “For development and implementation of Distance Learning Technology to enhance the expertise of National Weather Service forecasters” Developed image display techniques with McIDAS that are still used today: the (GOES) Derived Product Image (DPI) concept from 1985 (Smith, Wade, and Woolf) will continue with GOES-R ABI “DPI” products; GOES multi-band data continue today to often be shown as many-panel displays; and, time composite image products also are still seen - satellite image “montages” of hurricanes started with Hurricane Georges (1998) Participated in and supported field experiments (McIDAS and satellite analysis): - 1985 (OK) Oklahoma-Kansas PRE-STORM Program (convective studies) - 1988 (TX) GUFMEX (air-mass modification and return moist flow) - 1992 (MO,KS) STORMFEST (winter fronts and precipitation study) - 1992 (Australia) TOGA-COARE (ocean-atmosphere coupling/prediction study) Co-presented (on satellite soundings) at NWS facilities: National Severe Storms Forecasting Center (NSSFC), Kansas City MO; National Hurricane Center (NHC), Coral Gables FL; NWS Regional Offices in Kansas City MO and Salt Lake City UT; and NWS Forecast Offices (FO) in San Antonio and Galveston TX; Slidell, LA; Sullivan, Green Bay, and LaCrosse WI; and Salt Lake City UT as well as at COMET (Boulder CO). Train in recent non-winter seasons at Sullivan WI NWS FO as part of the CIMSS GOES-R Proving Ground local testbed. Co-presented training (on satellite soundings) at “GEOSS Americas/Caribbean Remote Sensing Workshop - Transforming Data into Products” in Cachoeira Paulista, Brazil (2007). Am member of American Meteorological Society (AMS) since 1974. Attended and presented at various conferences though the years (Annual Meetings (multiple); Severe Local Storms (multiple); Atmospheric Radiation (1999); Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography (2001)) Am member of National Weather Association (NWS) since 1999. Attended and presented at multiple Annual Meetings (1999, 2004, 2006, 2011, 2012). Served at vice president of local NWS chapter and helped organize the 2012 meeting in Madison. Am a CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network) observer since 2010. Serve as a volunteer state (Wisconsin) coordinator. Have participated and presented in (nearly all) of the CIMSS Student Workshops on Atmospheric, Satellite, and Earth Sciences, held (nearly) each summer since 1991. Outside of narrow work defined activities, am a supporting member of the International DarkSky Association and the U.S. Metric Association, due to strong interests in astronomical observing as well as in logical and less confusing standards for science and the world. Am capable in Word, Excel, and HTML; FORTRAN (historically); Matlab (self-taught); unix scripting; and, McIDAS (expert).
