Joel Scott has an M.S. in Meteorology from Florida State University and a B.S. in Meteorology and Mathematics (summa cum laude) from Texas A&M University. He has been with Remote Sensing Systems since 2011. His work includes passive microwave radiometer data processing, development, and validation. He has experience with multiple instrument platforms including SSM/I, SSM/IS, WindSat, AMSR, and Aquarius SAC-D. He works to acquire and analyze the data as well as to develop and implement retrieval algorithms to process the data. Joel also works to validate and calibrate these data. Recent research topics include applying satellite retrieved infrared and microwave products to tropical cyclones as well as polar lows to analyze their associated warm and cold wakes. He has participated in the NASA Energy and Water cycle Study meetings and NOAA COD program. He is an AMS, AGU, and IEEE member and has presented at many conferences.
