Caelum's work in Applied Sciences incorporates the following areas of expertise:
- Data Fusion and Image Processing
- Numerical Simulation and Algorithm Development
- Atmospheric Radiation Modeling and Remote Sensing
- Applications of Artificial Neural Networks to Atmospheric Retrieval
- Earth Science Research and Data Analysis
Key projects have included:
Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center of Excellence
In 2000, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) awarded a Cooperative Agreement to the University of Maryland,
Baltimore County (UMBC), to create a Center of Excellence in the Earth Sciences. Based at GSFC, the Goddard Earth
Sciences and Technology Center (GEST) is a collaborative program of research conducted under the auspices
of a consortium of government, university, and private industry partners. Led by UMBC, this consortium is comprised Caelum
Research Corporation, Hampton University, Howard University, and Northrop Grumman Corporation.
Caelum's ongoing projects include:
- Research on a variety of topics related to airborne and spaceborne weather radar analysis generally
and the TRMM Precipitation Radar specifically
- Research on the environmental effects on sea-ice dynamics to further understand the physical processes
in the Earth climate system
- Creating and verifying a three-dimensional microwave radiative transfer model incorporating realistic
hydrometeor composition and morphology
- Classification and application review relative to remote sensing methods as the means of information
support of contamination detection and monitoring in the Arctic
