Aquarius Mission Spokespersons
Yi Chao is project scientist for the Aquarius mission at NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where he provides the
interface between JPL’s Aquarius team and non-JPL members of the
Aquarius science team. An oceanographer, his specialties are satellite
oceanography, ocean satellite data analysis, and ocean and climate
modeling.
Arnold Gordon is a member of the Aquarius science team and associate
director of ocean and climate physics at the Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory at Columbia University in New York. He will be
investigating how the resolution and accuracy of Aquarius data will
portray the detailed sea surface salinity patterns as observed from
ships and drifting sensors within the ocean. Gordon has expertise in
ocean stratification, circulation and mixing, and its role in Earth's
climate system.
Eric Ianson is Aquarius program executive at NASA Headquarters in
Washington, where he serves as NASA’s primary program point of contact
for the mission, ensuring consistent program direction and execution.
His area of specialty is mission development and programmatic
implementation.
Gary Lagerloef is principal investigator of the Aquarius mission and
founder of Seattle- based Earth & Space Research, a non-profit
laboratory. He is responsible for the scientific and technical success
of the project and compliance with the mission's financial and
regulatory requirements. He is an oceanographer who specializes in
salinity remote sensing, ocean circulation and climate.
William Large is a research modeler and oceanographer at the National
Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. He will use
Aquarius' sea surface salinity data, along with precipitation and
temperature observations, to round out the data needed to refine the
numerical climate models he and his colleagues have developed.
David LeVine, deputy principal investigator for the Aquarius mission,
is based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Levine is a specialist in microwave remote sensing, and is responsible
for the Aquarius mission's science algorithm – the retrieval of
salinity from the instrument measurements.
Eric Lindstrom is an oceanographer and Aquarius program scientist at
NASA Headquarters in Washington where, among other responsibilities,
he assures that mission science is effectively integrated with that of
related research programs and that results of the mission are well
known throughout NASA and among members of the public. His specialty
is physical oceanography and climate.
Amit Sen serves as project manager for the Aquarius mission from
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where he is
responsible for coordinating and managing all Aquarius activities on a
day-to-day basis within the United States and with international
partners. He has extensive experience managing instruments and teams
for large and complex international satellite projects like Aquarius.
