Summary of 2006 News
- Dec, 2006. Attended the 2006 AGU Fall Meeting where I presented a poster on the Greenland melt area index work we have been researching here at LANL, along with some additional investigations on understanding surface skin temperature thermal variability and also the response of a Southwest montane environment to an extended drought followed by a wetting monsoonal period.
- Dec, 2006. Paper published online in Remote Sensing of Environment on the multi-scale estimation of evapotranspiration using remote sensing data from MODIS, Landsat and ASTER - the first investigation to comprehensively compare these three sensors.
- Sept, 2006. Work undertaken with Lee Balick and James Theiler at LANL together with Alan Gillespie and Amit Mushkin at U.W. on the "Forward modeling of linear mixing in thermal IR temperature retrieval" is to be presented at RAQRS'II in Valencia, Spain
- Sept, 2006. Work by the same authors (above) on the "Forward modeling of linear mixing in thermal IR ground leaving radiance spectra" will be presented at the SPIE Europe Optics/Photonics in Security and Defence conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
- Sept, 2006. Co-author with Salvatore Manfreda on research related to soil moisture scaling to be published in Advances Water Resources
- Aug, 2006. I actually managed to make the LANL Daily News Bulletin as part of my involvement with the Jemez Pueblo Science Institute.
- Aug, 2006. Co-author with Huilin Gao on the use of Copulas for improved data assimilation to be published in the Journal of Hydrometeorology.
- Aug, 2006. Paper accepted for publication in Remote Sensing of Environment with Eric Wood on scale issues in evapotranspiration measurement.
- July, 2006. Conference presentation on Greenland Climate Change co-authored with Petr Chylek, Manvendra Dubey and Glen Lesins at the 2nd Internation Conference on Global Warming.
- Dec, 2005. One of the first papers on AMSR-E soil moisture validation published in Journal of Hydrometeorology.
- Dec, 2005. Co-author with Hongbo Su at Princeton on the estimation of evapotranspiration using Landsat over the SMEX02 study site, published in Journal of Hydrometeorology.
