SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Coordinating the International Meteorological Satellite Constellation
DESCRIPTION:Download Flyer \nPresenter: Dr Kenneth Holmlund\, Senior Consultant \nTitle: Coordinating the International Meteorological Satellite Constellation\nLocation: Steinman Hall (Exhibit Room) Room 124\, Grove School of Engineering\, City College of New York\nDate/Time: Wednesday January 24\, 2024 @ 1:00 – 2:30 pm \nVirtual Participants :  zoom details  \nAbstract: \nThis presentation will give an overview of WMO\, CGMS and CEOS and provide examples demonstrating the success of these entities in enabling and coordinating the overall meteorological satellite constellation. \nMonitoring the Earth System provides critical information required for accurate weather forecasting\, climate predictions and other disciplines like air quality/atmospheric composition\, oceans and cryosphere. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) provides the overall framework for observational requirements and data exchange\, which in the past was dominated by ground-based observations. Today\, however\, space-based observations dominate the provision of information content that drives many application areas. This data\, which is provided by national and multi-national organizations as well as the private sector\, form the basis of modern data assimilation systems necessary to digest the overwhelming amount of information available. However\, whilst the space agencies fly a large number of satellites it is imperative to optimize the available capabilities in order to maximize the benefits from the space-based capabilities. The key fora for the coordination are provided by the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS). \nBiography: \nDr Holmlund joined the World Meteorological Organization 2020 as the Head of the WMO Space Systems and Utilization (SSU) Division.  In this role\, he was responsible for all aspects of the WMO Space Programme from definition of user requirements for current and future space-based observing systems to end-user services across all domains in an Earth-System modelling approach. This included coordination with governmental space agencies\, international coordination\, end users and across WMO Programmes using space-based observations and optimizing the satellite observing system. In this role he was also instrumental in developing an international coordination approach for the delivery of space weather services with ISES (International Space Environment Service) and COSPAR (Committee on Space Research) and delivering a WMO position of matters related to radio-frequency interference. \nSince his retirement from the role of Head of the WMO SSU Division Dr Holmlund now supports the WMO Global Cryosphere Watch for space-based observations in support of cryosphere\, polar/high-latitude and high-mountain observations in support of research and operational down-stream services. In addition\, he is still active in supporting radio-frequency interference issues critical related to space-based remote sensing for meteorology and atmospheric sciences

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Internship Opportunity in Hydrometeorology Field Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Title: Internship Opportunity in Hydrometeorology Field Campaign \nSpeaker: Jake Longenecker\, NOAA EPP/MSI CESSRST-II Fellow at CUNY \nDate: February 22\, 2024 \nTime: 1:00 PM ET \nVenue: Virtual \nMeeting Link : https://meet.google.com/ioi-iwdk-rzc \nPhone Number\n(‪US‬)‪+1 516-226-0191‬\nPIN: ‪453 865 403#‬ \nLearn more about the speaker \nAbstract: \nAs part of the NOAA Study of Precipitation\, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology (SPLASH) campaign\, multiple unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) were deployed to the East River Watershed in the area surrounding Gothic\, CO. This work focuses on co-located ground-based measurements to improve the sensing of these aircraft\, determine the efficacy of the UAS datasets\, and improve future collection efficiency. To achieve these goals an optimal sampling frequency must be determined\, ground-based measurements must be contemporaneously collected\, cleaned\, and compared against the UAS data\, and remotely sensed satellite data must be analyzed. Preliminary analysis has given rise to speculation about UAS dataset accuracy but has also informed a way forward to improve the UAS systems. Working directly with the UAS flight and optics teams we intend to improve their systems by the end of the SPLASH campaign with the goal to have these instruments flight ready for all future NOAA missions. \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Remote Sensing of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in Coastal Water
DESCRIPTION:Title: Remote Sensing of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in Coastal Water \nPresenter(s): Alana Menendez\, CESSRST-II \nDate: Thursday\, February 22 · 1:35 – 2:05 pm EST \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/amx-djda-bdb  \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 434-886-0106‬ PIN: ‪754 062 498‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/amx-djda-bdb?pin=7736783692268 \nLearn about Speaker : Alana Menendez \nAbstract: Long Island Sound (LIS) estuary is dynamic in space and time\, with biogeochemical transformations occurring from anthropogenic\, river\, and marine sources\, with tidal\, seasonal\, and interannual variability. Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is both a tracer of these processes\, and an integral component that impacts carbon cycling\, nutrient cycling\, hypoxia\, light penetration\, and water color. This research represents the first analysis evaluating atmospheric correction techniques for Landsat-8 in LIS based on an extensive dataset of above-water radiometry in and around LIS waters. Secondly\, using a robust dataset of CDOM absorption from in situ water samples collected in LIS\, algorithms for retrieving this parameter fromLandsat-8 remote sensing reflectance are evaluated. This research provides preliminary results and a framework for continued analysis on the use of high spatial resolution ocean color satellite sensors in LIS for retrieving CDOM\, and ultimately dissolved organic carbon (DOC). This will allow for monitoring CDOM and DOC across the river-estuary interfaces of LIS dating back to 2013(launch of Landsat-8)\, which will contribute to a better understanding of the controls on LIS carbon cycling and water quality.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Federal Climate Research Network Regional Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Title: Federal Climate Research Network Regional Boundaries: Not Where\, but Why? \nPresenter(s):  Zachary Paganini\, CESSRST II \nDate : Friday\, February 23 · 1:00 – 1:30 pm EST \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/oxm-yhpz-doh  \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 321-209-6385‬ PIN: ‪772 993 275‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/oxm-yhpz-doh?pin=4150785920930 \nLearn about Speaker:  Zachary Paganini\,  \nAbstract:  \nThe project responds to inquiries from U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)stakeholders and funders for an explanation of the origins of\, functions of\, and reasons for differences in the regional boundaries of different federal climate research networks. This research explores six federal climate research networks through mapping analysis\, document and literature review\, and interviews with program managers and directors at federal climate research networks to explain why these differences exist and what functions they serve. The research revealed that while federal climate research networks share a common goal of delivering accurate and actionable climate data to stakeholders across multiple scales\, differences in where networks draw their capacity from and what specific sectors networks focus on delivering information to not only explain but necessitate differences in federal climate research networks’ regional boundaries.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Detection of seal pups and polar bears in multispectral imagery
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Detection of seal pups and polar bears in multispectral imagery \nPresenter(s): Juanita Jimenez\, \nDate: Friday\, February 23 · 1:35 – 2:05 pm EST \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/ejj-kthh-sje  \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 914-893-5689‬ PIN: ‪679 479 638‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/ejj-kthh-sje?pin=5439818462517 \nAbout Speaker:  Juanita Jimenez \nAbstract: The Polar Ecosystems Program at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center’s Marine Mammal Laboratory is responsible for estimating the abundance and distribution of ice-associated seals of Alaska. They conducted large-scale fixed-wing surveys of the sea ice in the Bering\, Chukchi\, and Beaufort seas in a collaborative effort with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to include polar bears in this effort\, and international researchers to accurately assess transboundary population estimates. These surveys result in the collection of hundreds of thousands of aerial images of the sea ice from airborne color (RGB)\, thermal infrared (IR)\, and ultraviolet (UV) cameras. Machine learning models can be used to identify ringed seals\, bearded seals\, and polar bears in the imagery. The objective of this NOAA Experiential Research and Training Opportunity\, NERTO was to utilize the annotated UV\, IR\, and color imagery to develop a detection model to find polar bears and white coat seal pups in multispectral imagery. During the summer\, we started the development of a processing workflow\, first using ENVI and then with MATLAB to process these images. The approach being pursued looks at building a five band multispectral data cube by first registering the images and stacking them into a three-dimensional array. Once the images are aligned\, animal signatures can be used to detect the presence of mammals in the scene. The goal of the NERTO\, was to identify the workflow that NOAA needs to extract spectral signatures using the UV\, IR\, and color images. The final goal is to build a model to find the animals in the sea ice by processing these cubes. Follow up work will be pursued as part of my master’s project at UTEP.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Micro-climate Monitoring\, Crop Impacts\, and Preparedness for Southern CA Viticulture
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Micro-climate Monitoring\, Crop Impacts\, and Preparedness for Southern CA Viticulture \nPresenter(s): Alessandra Zuniga \nDate: Thursday\, May 9 \, 2024 from 1:30 – 2:15 pm \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/mdr-yckd-znv  \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 408-909-8773 PIN: ‪659 505 717## \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/mdr-yckd-znv?pin=7798352384570 \nAbout Speaker:  Alessandra Zuniga \nAbstract: \nSouthern California is currently experiencing rapid changes in climate patterns and more extreme weather events with important implications for the agricultural industry. Current trends and climate models indicate that temperatures in this region will continue to rise in the next century\, along with more intense and frequent drought events. The impacts of these changes on crop physiology and production remain ambiguous\, which makes this region highly vulnerable to climate change. Moreover\, very little is known about how growers are responding to these climate challenges and whether they have the necessary resources and support to adapt accordingly. This project was developed to better understand and predict climate impacts to vineyard production systems in the San Diego region. The first objective of this project was to better understand the physiological response of grapevines to micro-climate and soil water availability and how this varies across different grapevine varieties of the same species (Vitis vinifera L.). This project was conducted at an experimental vineyard located in the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve in Fallbrook\, CA. The second objective of this research was to use a social science approach to better understand the impacts and challenges of climate change on the winegrowing community in the San Diego region. These findings help to draw awareness of potential impacts on the grape/wine sector\, which may incentivize informed policy and practices. \nThe results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Alexander Tardy of the National Weather Service. The NERTO aligns with the NOAA CESSRST-II program’s goals of supporting and strengthening societal decision-making in response to weather and climate extremes. This project has also deepened the intern’s understanding of NOAA weather monitoring by integrating weather data\, crop transpiration predictions\, and grower risk perception to address information needs and adaptive capacity building of the agricultural sector.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: The Path to Justice40: Indicators and Metrics for Assessing and Engaging Frontline Communities
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Path to Justice40: Indicators and Metrics for Assessing and Engaging Frontline Communities\n \nPresenter(s): Gwendolyn Damestoit \nDate: Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 at 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET\n \nMeeting link : https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/8902629542552066646 \nAbout Speaker:  Gwendolyn Damestoit \nAbstract: \nThis research\, conducted  under the mentorship of NOAA/NERTO mentors Dr. Ariela Zycherman\, Dr. Chelsea Combest-Friedman\, and CESSRST Advisor Dr. Fernando Tormos-Aponte\, aimed to investigate the decision-making processes within the Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments Program (RISA) teams concerning community engagement\, with a specific focus on frontline communities. The objective was to comprehend how RISA projects are scoped\, benefits are identified\, and community partnerships are established. The study was particularly relevant in the context of supporting federal agencies’ response to the Justice40 Initiative (EO14008\, Sec223)\, which seeks to ensure that 40% of the benefits from federal investments in climate change are directed towards “disadvantaged” communities. Under this initiative\, federal agencies are required to define and geographically identify the communities meeting the criteria of “disadvantaged” to receive funding. The primary task involves identifying the diverse metrics and considerations employed by RISA teams in determining their project locations and community collaborators. This was achieved through informal interviews with principal investigators and program managers within RISA teams. Qualitative analysis techniques were utilized to discern common metrics across the network and region-specific indicators. Furthermore\, the research compares these metrics with existing environmental justice and social vulnerability tools to develop a framework for identifying beneficiary communities in alignment with the Justice40 initiative. The outcomes of this study contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of the RISA program in addressing climate and social justice concerns while aligning with broader equity priorities of the administration.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Implementation and Sustainability of the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Program
DESCRIPTION:Title: Implementation and Sustainability of the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Program\n \nPresenter(s):Wendy Prudencio \nDate: Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 at 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm ET\n \nGoogle Meet joining info \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link:  meet.google.com/mfn-yhxq-nxf \nOr dial: ‪(US)+1 307-364-0663 PIN: ‪797 007 689#  \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/mfn-yhxq-nxf?pin=8888412615303&hs=1 \n\nAbout Speaker: Wendy Prudencio \nAbstract: \nTsunamis are natural hazards that are caused by other hazards\, such as earthquakes\, volcanic eruptions\, submarine landslides\, and meteorites. Tsunamis can be life-threatening\, and therefore\, mitigation and preparedness for these events are necessary. In 2001\, the National Weather Service (NWS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the Tsunami Ready Program in coordination with the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) to assist coastal communities throughout the United States (Bernard\, 2005). The Tsunami Ready Program promotes mitigation\, awareness\, preparedness\, and response to tsunamis through community-based efforts. This program has paved the way for the International Tsunami Information Center to support the piloting\, establishment\, and ongoing implementation of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme. Implementation and sustainability of the Tsunami Ready Program are crucial to coastal communities in order to improve resiliency and reduce the impact on life\, property\, and livelihoods. \nThe results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Dr. Christa G. von Hillebrandt-Andrade of the International Tsunami Information Center Caribbean Office of NWS. The NERTO aligns with the NOAA CSC Center for Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies II (CESSRST II) goal to Conduct NOAA mission-aligned collaborative research. The NERTO Implementation and Sustainability of the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Program also deepened the intern’s understanding of NOAA’s tsunami hazard mitigation strategies\, which enhanced their capacity to support coastal community preparedness and resilience initiatives effectively

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Puerto Rico Mangroves
DESCRIPTION:Title: Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Puerto Rico Mangroves \nPresenter(s): Jahnelle Howe \nDate: Wednesday \, August 28 2024 from 11:00 – 12:00 pm \nWebinar Link : https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/6094444959284406880 \nAbout Speaker: Jahnelle Howe \nAbstract: \nMangroves are coastal forests that persist in the ocean-land continuum and provide critical habitats for fish and wildlife. They contribute to coastal resiliency by acting as natural barriers to storm surges and preventing erosion\, flooding\, and disasters. Mangrove ecosystems contribute to global carbon cycles by acting as a sink of atmospheric CO2\, thereby having the potential to mitigate climate change. Blue carbon refers to the carbon sequestered in litter and soil in coastal ecosystems and the oceans\, having a particularly high rate of carbon storage. However\, due to anthropogenic and natural hazards and climate change\, the loss of mangroves poses a risk of releasing sequestered carbon stored deep within the soil into the atmosphere once exposed. This work is particularly important for Puerto Rico as mangroves are essential for coastal protection from storms (wave action\, erosion\, lessening impacts to communities) and critical for economically significant artisan fishers. This study focuses on two mangroves in Puerto Rico\, La Parguera and Laguna Grande\, for blue carbon quantification and assessing whether extreme events\, including hurricanes and environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation\, impact these ecosystems and their capacity to sequester blue carbon. Furthermore\, this study also reviews the socio-economic conditions influencing blue economy building and blue carbon sequestration related to coastal communities’ dependency on values and services provided by these ecosystems in Puerto Rico.

SUMMARY:6th NOAA AI Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This year’s NOAA AI Workshop will gather community members to discuss and explore collaborations on leveraging AI that align with NOAA’s strategic priorities. Participants will form community collaboration groups around selected use cases that can be sustained after the workshop via online collaboration platforms. We invite all interested scientists\, AI practitioners\, and application end users to join this community-driven collaboration development event. \nGiven available resources\, the in-person component of the workshop will take place at up to three locations – College Park\, MD\, Boulder\, CO\, and Seattle\, WA – simultaneously and connected via the video meeting platform. The event is open to the public with a fully virtual participation option. Due to space limitations\, priority for in-person participation will be given to participants who can commit to fully participate in the planned activities. \nComplete the expression of interest formoffsite link by July 26\, 2024. Further communication regarding the workshop will be provided in late July. \nContact ai.workshop@noaa.gov with questions. \nFor more information\,  visit https://www.noaa.gov/ai/events/6th-noaa-ai-workshop-2024

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Urban Study of Excessive Rainfall Rates
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Urban Study of Excessive Rainfall Rates\n \nPresenter(s): Melissa Crouch \nDate: 10 October 2024 11:05 am – 11:35 am ET\n \nRemote Access: Google Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/yat-nxrf-emf \nOr dial: (US) +1 321-405-2803 PIN: 268 246397 \n#More phone numbers: https://tel.meet/yat-nxrf-emf?pin=4547124589737 \nAbout Speaker:  Melissa Crouch \nAbstract: Warming atmospheric temperatures have the potential to increase the moisture content\, leading to enough intensified precipitation and storms to induce flash flooding. Urban areas experience the worst of these events due to a lack of infiltration that affects drainage systems. This project is an analysis of these rainfall events. The objectives were to (1) use MRMS/FLASH data to help better anticipate urban flood events through good lead time\, (2) use the data to refine flash flood guidance values\, and (3) develop thresholds for improved issuance of severity of flood impacts. Particular focus was on the remnants of Ida on September 1st and 2nd\, 2021\, and the September 29th event of 2023. Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) data were matched with local storm reports (LSRs) to statistically summarize the patterns of precipitation and surface runoff estimates within New York City. Flash flood guidance (FFG) was used to interpret the results of the analysis\, which concludes that\, for all events\, the quantitative precipitation estimate (QPE) does not exceed FFG thresholds. The surface runoff simulations illustrate the exceedance of thresholds\, posing the risk of flash flooding to occur. The work also helps in serving the needs of both meteorologists and hydrologists to improve lead time and calibrate thresholds for improved issuance of severity of flood impacts. The results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Dr. David Radell\, Science Operations Officer at the National Weather Service at Upton\, NY. The NERTO aligns with NOAA CSC CESSRST-II’s goal to understand and predict changes in Earth’s environment. This Urban Study of Excessive Rainfall Rates also deepened the intern’s understanding of how urban landscapes (like NYC) influence flash flooding behavior and the importance of how these models help the public in making informed decisions on how to prepare for these kinds of events.
