Signal Analysis Engineer III California Institute Of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Several of the hardest remaining problems are learning problems: estimating sea-ice concentration and correcting winds near the ice edge, retrieving wind direction from sensors that measure only speed, correcting rain contamination in Ku-band backscatter, harmonizing sensors with different resolutions and calibrations onto a common scale, and filling the spatial and temporal gaps between satellite overpasses. Apply machine learning to raise the effective resolution of the wind product near coasts and sea ice and over the open ocean, and to fill spatial and temporal gaps between satellite overpasses, using MWOW's collocations between coarser scatterometer and radiometer winds and high-resolution SAR observations as training data.
