Tim Schmit worked within NOAA\u2019s NESDIS Center of Satellite Applications and Research located in Madison, WI. And is now a UW-Madison honorary fellow.\u00a0Tim has been recognized as an international expert in the field of geostationary remote sensing. Tim\u2019s 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 the GOES-R series.\u00a0Tim has extensive experience with data and deriving products from the legacy GOES imager and sounder data. Tim\u2019s interest on GOES-R series is truly end-to-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim had a lead role in the band selection for the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI<\/a>) on Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-R (-16). When Tim began working on the ABI in 1999, it only had 8 spectral bands, yet a long list of requirements. Now it has 16 bands. To better prepare for the ABI, Tim was instrumental in the acquisition of special \u201dSuper Rapid Scan\u201d 1-minute GOES-14 data from the imager between 2012 and 2016. In addition, Tim has played key roles in preparing for and the on-orbit check-outs of GOES-8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Tim was the chair of two Algorithm Working Group (AWG) teams:\u00a0imagery\u00a0<\/a>and soundings. Tim has published over 100 journal articles, several book chapters, and co-edited a book, all associated with some aspect of GOES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tim has many awards, including the Department of Commerce gold, silver, bronze awards, NOAA Administrator awards, National Weather Association (NWA) Ted Fujita research achievement award, elected to be an American Meteorological Society (AMS) Fellow, and a finalist for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tim got his Master\u2019s degree from the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison in 1987 working with Professor Young and Dr. David Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tim worked at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS<\/a>) for 9 years prior to joining\u00a0NOAA\/NESDIS<\/a>\u00a0in April 1996. His research has pursued numerous avenues related to satellite-based data, user-readiness, imagery, soundings, history, calibration, products and applications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tim Schmit worked within NOAA\u2019s NESDIS Center of Satellite Applications and Research located in Madison, WI.
