I have been involved in several recent collaborations with scientists from such places as NOAA/NESDIS, the Ocean Remote Sensing Group at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory, and Penn State
List of some of my recent research topics:
o Wind speed assessment using synthetic aperture radar
o The use of synthetic aperture radar in the fine scale analysis of synoptic scale fronts
o The remote sensing of cloud lines associated with Gulf Stream meanders
o The use of synthetic aperture radar in high-latitude marine forecasting
o Anomalous cloud lines observed over the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays
