Gary J. Jedlovec

Gary J. Jedlovec has spent most of the last 25 years developing and evaluating algorithms to retrieve geophysical parameters from remotely sensed aircraft and satellite measurements for regional climate studies and weather forecasting applications. He has authored papers on these approaches including the retrieval of land and sea surface temperatures, and atmospheric water vapor, approaches to detect clouds in polar and geostationary satellite imagery, and in the assimilation of AIRS radiance and profile data to improve short-term weather forecasts. He is currently leading an effort to transition the use of unique NASA EOS satellite data (from MODIS, AMSR-E, and AIRS instruments) into various National Weather Service forecast offices and other operational end users to improve short-term weather forecasts on a regional and local scale.
