My work focuses on applying satellite data to weather analysis and forecasting and includes topics at polar, midlatitude, and tropical latitudes.  I work with current instruments on both geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites, with a focus of creating products for use at operational weather forecasting centers.

I am also involved in simulating the capabilities of NOAA’s next generation geostationary imager (GXI) using existing satellite instruments, and through the creation of synthetic satellite imagery using output from numerical weather prediction models and radiative transfer code.
