Shuman contributes to Earth Observatory IOTD on "Sea Smoke"
Christopher Shuman (615/UMBC) contributed to the Earth Observatory's Item of the Day (IOTD) for October 28, 2024, in which Landsat-8's OLI captured "sea smoke" in the atmosphere above the Pine Island Glacier.
"Satellites are usually unable to capture clear images of these near-surface atmospheric phenomena because clouds tend to be present when they occur," said [Dr. Shuman], University of Maryland, Baltimore County, glaciologist based at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center."
