AMSR-E SIPS: Advanced Microwave Scaning Radiometer (AMSR) for Earth Observing Systems (EOS) Science Investigator-led Processing System

The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) is a Japanese-designed passive microwave radiometer flying aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite. NASA has funded the AMSR-E Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) to generate standard data products using science...

Vantage Sensor Network Simulations

Sensor network configuration and analysis of target detection

This project researched the ability to model and simulate the detection of airborne vehicles by very large sensor networks. The system includes a graphical map application, Vantage, which includes a user interface and a server capable of utilizing large HPCS resources for...

Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP)

The Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment was a NASA Earth science field experiment in 2010 that was conducted to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. NASA used the DC-8 aircraft, the WB-57 aircraft, and the...

Ligntning Imaging Sensor

The Lightning Image Sensor detects lightning on a global scale

The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) is a space based instrument used to detect the distribution and variability of total lightning (cloud-to-cloud, intracloud, and cloud-to-ground lightning) that occurs in the tropical regions of the globe. LIS was launched in November 1997...
