Service Philosophy
I believe complex atmospheric science should serve practical decision-making. My career has focused on converting advanced satellite research into practical data products for organizational use.
Core Operating Principles
My business operates according to four key values:
- Scientific rigor meets operational practicality - Delivering solutions that are both scientifically sound and practically implementable
- Collaborative approach - Building on existing expertise rather than replacing it
- International perspective - Bringing global best practices to local challenges
- Rapid response capability - Providing quick solutions without sacrificing quality
Service Offerings: Areas of Expertise
I can assist with:
- Satellite platform transitions and data continuity planning
- Climate Data Record development and modernization
- Legacy dataset rescue and extension
- International satellite calibration coordination
- Tropical cyclone data analysis and applications
- Technical advisory for satellite programs
Satellite Platform Transitions
When your data products depend on aging satellite platforms, I help you navigate transitions to next-generation systems (GOES-R, JPSS/VIIRS, Meteosat Third Generation) while maintaining data record continuity.
Climate Data Record Development & Modernization
From algorithm design through operational deployment, I develop and upgrade CDRs with proven methodologies — including inter-satellite calibration, quality assurance frameworks, and documentation meeting NOAA CDR Program standards.
Legacy Data Rescue & Continuity
When critical datasets face discontinuation or require integration of historical observations, I bring the original architect’s knowledge to preserve and extend foundational climate records.
International Calibration Coordination
Expert guidance on cross-platform calibration approaches, drawing on direct experience with GSICS, SCOPE-CM, and bilateral coordination with EUMETSAT, JMA, and other international partners.
Tropical Cyclone Data & Analysis
Specialized expertise in tropical cyclone best track datasets (IBTrACS), intensity estimation techniques, and historical storm reanalysis — relevant for climate research, reinsurance, and catastrophe modeling.
Strategic Advisory
Technical direction for satellite program planning, requirements development, and stakeholder coordination — leveraging deep NOAA/NESDIS institutional knowledge.
