Join us for a virtual seminar by Dr. Xubin Zeng, Professor, Atmospheric Sciences and Director, Climate Dynamics and Hydrometeorology, University of Arizona. His talk is titled "Clouds, precipitation, and organized convection: from land surface effect to a new satellite wind mission concept."

Date and Time: Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 1:00pm
Join us via Teams.

Abstract: 
"Clouds, precipitation, and organized convection are key processes of the atmosphere. They strongly interact with dynamic, thermodynamic, and aerosol conditions in the atmosphere, and are also coupled with land and ocean surface processes in the Earth system. In this lecture, I will overview our recent efforts on these topics, including: 
  • the pathway for land surface conditions to affect local afternoon rainfall; 
  • the evaluation of satellite precipitation products over coastal land versus ocean in the U.S.: does coastal land have more rainfall and extreme events than coastal ocean?   
  • the precondition for the occurrence of organized convection over tropical ocean and land: are the precursors the same over land versus ocean or over different ocean basins?  
  • a new satellite wind mission concept (Vientos) that combines wind lidar measurements with feature-tracking three-dimensional atmospheric wind from water vapor sounding data."

The article presents possible links to ocean warming, including the effect of weather patterns and El Nino. The article references the research by Dr. Yuan and colleagues on the effect of the 2020 regulation for ships to use fuel with reduced sulfur content, which led to reduced pollutants. A theory exists that there is a connection between the reduced sulfur content in the atmosphere and higher temperatures in the ocean, a possibility that is up for discussion. What is clear is that data show increasing ocean warmth. ]]> In the June 14, 2023, Washington Post article, "Scientists are baffled why the oceans are warming so fast," Tianle Yuan (613/UMBC) contributes to the discussion among climate and hurricane... https://dev.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/134042/guest@my.umbc.edu/0c22c5b31c8b703e2e03ac63744f193c/api/pixel gestar2 Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research II https://dev.my.umbc.edu/groups/gestar2 https://assets3-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/xsmall.png?1645477833 https://assets1-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/original.png?1645477833 https://assets1-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/xxlarge.png?1645477833 https://assets4-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/xlarge.png?1645477833 https://assets2-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/large.png?1645477833 https://assets4-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/medium.png?1645477833 https://assets1-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/small.png?1645477833 https://assets3-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/xsmall.png?1645477833 https://assets3-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/988/1dcee2628d726541e45f1ba8c31afe98/xxsmall.png?1645477833 Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research II https://assets3-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/xxlarge.jpg?1686939891 https://assets4-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/xlarge.jpg?1686939891 https://assets2-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/large.jpg?1686939891 https://assets1-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/medium.jpg?1686939891 https://assets2-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/small.jpg?1686939891 https://assets4-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/xsmall.jpg?1686939891 https://assets4-dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/134/042/555784bebbbc859555a03b851fc252dc/xxsmall.jpg?1686939891 0 0 false Fri, 16 Jun 2023 14:26:08 -0400 GESTAR II researchers publish as lead and co-authors Nikki Prive' is the lead author of a recent paper in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:
