Sandra Yuter

Bio

Sandra uses geospatial analytics to distill information on weather and climate to address basic and applied science questions related to shallow marine clouds, winter storms and other weather systems. She develops new capabilities from remote sensing data products, leveraging over 30 years of experience in data fusion and image analysis using multispectral satellite, radar, lidar and other meteorological observations. Other interests include developing education modules on radar-observed storm structures and matching sensor data set characteristics with appropriate science questions (and vice versa).
