SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Fostering Collaboration and Advancing Research: A Year-Long Internship at NOAA's Physical Sciences Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Title: Fostering Collaboration and Advancing Research: A Year-Long Internship at NOAA’s Physical Sciences Laboratory \nSpeaker: Julio Ceniceros\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UTEP \nDate: October 5\, 20223 \nTime: 1:00 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link :  Register here \nAbstract: \nJulio Ceniceros\, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of Texas at El Paso\, successfully completed a year-long internship at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Physical Sciences Laboratory in Boulder\, CO\, as part of his fellowship with the NOAA Office of Education (OED) under the Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI). During this internship\, Julio significantly bolstered the lab’s research capabilities by developing Python script-based tools to process weather balloon sounding datasets and ocean vertical profile datasets\, crucial for studying air-sea fluxes—a central research focus of the lab. This experience not only enriched his research skills but also facilitated his professional growth through hands-on development activities. He contributed novel figures and preliminary findings to his host research lab\, showcasing the collaborative synergy between academia and the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory and emphasizing the significance of such partnerships in advancing atmospheric and oceanic sciences. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Design of a Low SWaP Dual-Band Radiometer for UAS Remote Sensing Applications
DESCRIPTION:Title: Design of a Low SWaP Dual-Band Radiometer for UAS Remote Sensing Applications \nSpeaker: Maria Novoa Garcia\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UPRM \nDate: Ocotber 24\, 20223 \nTime: 1:00 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link : meet.google.com/spo-vxqc-nmb \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nDesign of a Low SWaP Dual-Band Radiometer for UAS Remote Sensing Applications Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is crucial in oceanographic\, coastal\, atmospheric\, and other applications. Knowing this variable well allows the scientific community to understand and monitor the behavior of both the ocean and the atmosphere. This way\, the government and other stakeholders can make better decisions to protect life and property based on analysis and conclusions by NOAA scientists. During my NOAA Experiential Research and Training Opportunities (NERTO)\, our research focused on studying further which variables significantly impact the measurement of sea surface salinity from passive microwave radiometers. These variables are the Sea Surface Temperature\, Earth Incidence Angle\, Wind Speed\, and Direction. We concentrated on the sensitivity of the retrieved SSS to each variable mentioned by calculating the brightness temperature (TB). The calculations are from the study of Meissner et al. and the theses of Wah and Mera. A function was designed on MATLAB and showed that brightness temperature is more sensitive to Sea Surface Temperature and Wind Speed. The highest error in SSS is 1.0183 PSU\, meaning that this parameter impacts most the brightness temperature and the retrieved sea surface salinity. I will also discuss furthers steps of this research which will implement this function in the analysis of retrieving SSS for the new novel airborne sensor.. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Inter-comparison and Validation of Remote Sensing Satellite based Soil Moisture.
DESCRIPTION:Title: Inter-comparison and Validation of Remote Sensing Satellite based Soil Moisture. \nSpeaker: Stephanie Marquez\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at UTEP \nDate: Ocotber 24\, 20223 \nTime: 1:30 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link : meet.google.com/spo-vxqc-nmb \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 219-321-0478‬\nPIN: ‪651 945 406#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nInter-comparison and Validation of Remote Sensing Satellite based Soil Moisture.: This study explores the potential of using a random forest\, gradient boosting and support vector machine model to predict soil moisture levels by incorporating both meteorological and biogeophysical data. The study utilized meteorological data such as temperature\, albedo\, and precipitation\, and biogeophysical data including soil type\, land cover\, slope\, elevation\, and normalized differenced vegetation index (NDVI) from remote sensing sources. Additionally\, in-situ soil moisture measurements from a Campbell Scientific Hydrosense II-12 sensor were incorporated as input parameters to train and test the model. The dataset was collected from a soil moisture sensor network installed in Jornada Experimental Range\, New Mexico during the summer of 2022. The results indicate that the gradient boosting model accurately predicts soil moisture levels\, with an NSE score of 0.62\, demonstrating the importance of combining remote sensing data with ground-based observations. This study showcases the potential of machine learning algorithms\, particularly random forest models\, to accurately predict future soil moisture levels\, which could enhance the accuracy of satellite data and weather predictions. \n
