This SpaceWeatherWeek, hear how Alessandra Abe Pacini, a SpaceWeather physicist, studies how solar activity occurs and can affect us here on Earth. Read her career profile, and others, here:
In my job as an oceanographer, I work to better understand the ocean’s role in climate change. Most of my research involves combining data from satellites, research cruises, and autonomous robotic drifters known as Argo floats to study the physics of the ocean. As a member of the NASA/
Jason/Sentinel-6 Ocean Surface Topography Science Team, I work with data from our satellites that measure the height of the sea surface .I use satellite data to tease out how the ocean is responding to climate change. It might seem like it would be harder to study the ocean from space than just going out in a boat and taking measurements, but observing the ocean from space allows us to do a lot of research that would be much more expensive and difficult to do from ships.
provides services to the public on a daily basis. ’s National Weather Service relies on these satellite measurements to generate daily weather and sea state forecasts. In our lab, we are working with hurricane forecasters to improve their forecasts of hurricane intensity by including information from our new ocean heat content maps.Since college, I’ve had to manage several chronic health issues which have often forced me to modify my working environment and schedule.
.Specialized classes in earth science and oceanography are particularly helpful for becoming an oceanographer. However, it is important to also have a solid background in physics, math, and computer science to be able to properly analyze the data we get from satellites and be able to use it to better understand the climate system.
