VISITING SCIENTIST (RESEARCH)

NASA JOHN F. KENNEDY SPACE CENTER/CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION
[Applied Meteorology Unit (AMU), Range Operations Control Center
ROCC), Code YA-D]
Statistical Forecasting of Lightning Cessation Project
(2004 Summer Quarter)

Performed contractual research in meteorology, applying statistical
curve-fitting to the slowing lightning flash rate in decaying
thunderstorms to estimate the probability of occurrence of
one or more flashes and simulate decisions to cancel advisories.
A climatology and a time series for strikes were derived from the
probability distribution of times between the next-to-last and last
flashes, based upon continuous surveillance via satellite and radar.

VISITING SCIENTIST (RESEARCH)

NASA GODDARD INSTITUTE FOR SPACE STUDIES (GISS)
Armstrong Building, Columbia University
New York, NY
Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP), Code 940
(2001 and 2002 Summer Quarters)

Performed contractual research in atmospheric-ocean modeling,
simulating the earth's climate in three dimensions on a gridded
domain, modifying and improving a conglomeration of computer
programs and adding new versions to simulate observed climatic
relationships for making projections into the future. As a part
of a national investigation of the impacts of climate variability,
files from very large databases were downloaded from the Internet
at 1x1 horizontal resolution and interpolated to the GISS Model's
5x4 resolution and analyzed by our sophisticated temporal scheme
to improve the model and make predictions, based upon time-varying
prognostic variables such as fluid mass, horizontal velocity,
heat, salt, water vapor, surface mass, sea ice thickness and
concentration, sea surface temperature and energy fields.
Related papers were also presented at the NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD.
