Workshop by Dr. Bob Rabin, Tools for exploring satellite and radar observations

Date:  September 25 - 26, 2019

Location: City College of New York, Steinman Hall T424

This workshop will provide hands‐on experience with a number of online tools including include Real Earth, Slider, the SSEC Geostationary Image Browser, MRMS, Flash for displaying and examining a wide range of satellite and radar observations and derived products.

Real‐time and archived observations to be covered include multispectral imagery from geostationary and low orbiting satellites, GLM lightning, and dual polarimetric Doppler radar. Products examples will include land and ocean surface temperature, cloud characteristics, fires, ozone, precipitation rate and classification, and streamflow. Dr Rabin will be available after the workshop to assist those interested in acquiring data for quantitative analysis using tools such as McIDAS.

Dr. Bob Rabin has been a research scientist at the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory for nearly 40 years. Bob Rabin has been a part of several studies, from the Severe

Environmental Storm and Mesoscale Experiment in the late 1970s, which sampled Southern Plains storm activity, to working with NOAA and NASA on geo weather satellites.
