Tokay publishes two lead author papers

Ali Tokay (612/UMBC) recently published lead author papers in the Journal of Hydrometeorology and in the Journal of Applied Meteorology Climatology. Both papers reference the use of the Precipitation Imaging Package (PIP) and the ICE POP 2018 field campaign (International Collaborative Experiment - PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympic), and one references the SWER(Ze) relationships (snow water equivalent rate (SWER) from radar reflectivity (Ze)). In one of his abstracts, Dr. Tokay explains, "The SWER(Ze) relationship is a priority for NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission ground validation program as it is needed to comprehensively validate spaceborne precipitation retrievals." Dr. Tokay is a Research Associate Professor at UMBC who teaches the course "Weather and Climate" as part of the GES Department.
