Huan Meng received a
B.S. in Marine Meteorology (1985) from Ocean University of Qingdao,
and a M.Eng. in Fluid Mechanics and Flow Measurement (1988) from
Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering in China. She worked as
an assistant engineer in the field of water level sensor calibration
and validation (cal/val) before earning a M.S. in Physical
Oceanography (1993) from Florida State University and a Ph.D. in
Hydrology (2004) from Colorado State University. Huan worked for the
Microwave Surface and Precipitation Products System (MSPPS) project
within NOAA/NESDIS/STAR as a contractor for seven years before joining
the Satellite Climate Studies Branch (SCSB) in August 2006.
Besides being the system lead for MSPPS project, Huan also worked on
the algorithm development and cal/val of the hydrological products based
on passive microwave satellite measurement from the NOAA Advanced
Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) sensors. Her latest MSPPS-related work
involves the development of snowfall rate algorithm using AMSU-
B/Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) measurements. She will continue to
support MSPPS in her new position at SCSB.
Huan will also use her background in hydrology to explore new
research areas. She will develop new applications for satellite
products within hydrological and ecosystem models in conjunction with
the Chesapeake Bay ecological model being developed at SCSB.
