Scientific Analysis and Data Systems

Remote sensing algorithm and instrument calibration/validation Services

ERT provides science support for NASA Goddard and NOAA NESDIS in remote sensing algorithm development to generate science products from satellite measurements. Specifically, ERT develops algorithms and radioactive transfer models to produce land, ocean, and atmospheric products such as atmospheric aerosol content, ocean chlorophyll measurement, and vegetation net primary productivity. For land and ocean products, ERT develops algorithms to remove atmospheric effects from instruments such as Landsat, MODIS, and SeaWiFs.

Modeling and data assimilation/visualization Services

ERT provides research through operations support via high-end atmospheric modeling and data assimilation of air quality and emissions forecasting trajectories and deposition for NOAA Air Resources Lab and implementation into the NOAA NCEP operations. ERT integrates atmospheric emissions into analytical models, couple the models to describe physical and chemical evolution of atmospheric plumes, assemble observational data, and test each model against the observational data.
