ABI and CrIS Fusion Paper Published: A paper titled “Tracking Atmospheric Moisture Changes in Convective Storm Environments Using GEO ABI and LEO CrIS Data Fusion” by Elisabeth Weisz and Paul Menzel was published in the Special Issue "Nowcasting of Convective Storms Based on Remote Sensing Data Fusion" of the journal Remote Sensing. The authors examine the utility of information extracted by fusion of polar orbiting hyperspectral sounders (e.g., Cross-track Infrared Sounder, CrIS) with geostationary continuous multispectral imagers (e.g., Advanced Baseline Imager, ABI) for improving boundary layer monitoring of severe weather likelihood. The results foreshadow the enhanced capability that geostationary hyperspectral sounders will contribute. The article is available at https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/14/21/5327/htm. Citation: Weisz, E. and W.P. Menzel, 2022, “Tracking Atmospheric Moisture Changes in Convective Storm Environments Using GEO ABI and LEO CrIS Data Fusion”, Remote Sens. 2022, 14(21), 5327; https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14215327.
