Satellite Remote Sensing of Clouds in Three Dimensions

When
-

Abstract:  Clouds have long represented a significant source of uncertainty in the estimation of the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) from space- or airborne imagery observations. In passive cloud remote sensing, three-dimensional (3D) cloud structures observed in nature are often captured as homogeneous (1D) representations. On the one hand, this limits our ability to access process-level understanding of interactions playing out in an inhomogeneous atmosphere.

NASA Funding, Politics, and the U.S. Federal Budget Process

When
-

Abstract: Ever wondered how the US Federal budget gets developed, and how this impacts NASA funding? How certain programs or missions get cut and then later come back to life? What you can do when your particular favorite mission gets axed?  Don’t get angry – get creative! Dr. Loschnigg will give an overview of the U.S. Federal budget process, with a focus on how NASA mission and program lines get funded, and how the Congressional appropriations process can sometimes counteract Presidential direction.
