Recently honored with a Bronze Medal Award for his work on a team
developing and assimilating Metop products, Sid-Ahmed Boukabara has
worked at STAR since 2005, first as a contractor, and since 2007 as
a federal employee. Until 2005 he was a scientist with Atmospheric
Environmental Research (AER) Inc., working on various projects
including MonoRTM, NPOESS CrIS, CMIS and QuikSCAT. Since joining STAR,
he has lead efforts to develop variational algorithms applicable to
all-weather conditions and over all surface backgrounds. In this
new capacity, STAR expects Sid will bring lots of energy and new
ideas to STAR and to the JCSDA. STAR congratulates him.
