Tim Schmit works at the Advanced Satellite Products Team
within NOAA’s NESDIS Office of Research and Applications located in
Madison, WI. Tim’s
experience with satellite data and processing covers a number of areas,
including calibration, simulations and algorithms for processing satellite
data into meteorological/environmental information and has a lead role in some of the
science applications for GOES-R. Tim has extensive experience with
data and deriving products from the current GOES imager and sounder data.
Tim’s interest on GOES-R is truly end-to-end, from the instruments,
downlink, calibration, re-broadcast, distribution, archive/access,
visualization, product generation, validations and applications. Tim got his
Master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin—Madison in 1987.Tim
worked at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)
for 9 years prior to joining NOAA/NESDIS in April 1996. Since then, his research has pursued
numerous avenues related to satellite-based data, products and applications:
- Current GOES Imager Algorithm Development. Have helped in
developing a number of products from the current GOES Imager. One example is
the Clear Sky Brightness Temperature (CSBT) that global numerical modelers
are using to better depict upper-level moisture. Another is the GOES Imager
cloud-top information product.
- Current GOES Sounder Algorithm Development. Have helped in
developing a number of products from the current GOES Sounder. Examples
include cloud-top information and retrievals of atmospheric
profiles and products such as Total
Precipitable Water.
- GOES Calibration and Validations. Tim has worked to monitor the
quality of the infrared calibrations of both the imager and
sounder. Tim is
also a member of the GOES-R calibration/validation steering
committee.
- Future GOES Imager. Some of Tim's GOES-R Imager activities include:
helping to define the early NOAA Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) TRD – Technical
Requirements Documents, ABI band selection and definitions, ABI simulations
using a myriad of satellite data, being a member of various committees.
- Future GOES Sounder. Some GOES-R Sounder
activities include: helping to define the early NOAA (then called the
ABS, now called the HES) TRD – Technical Requirements
Documents, HES trade-off studies, co-leads the NOAA data compression group, and is a a member of various committees.
