Duncan Belew (2013 Summer Student)
J. Duncan Belew of University of North Carolina - Asheville worked with Dr. Ali Tokay for 11 weeks on the project titled " Towards Evaluation of the National Mosaic and Quantitative Precipitation Estimate (NMQ) Product by an Experimental Rain Gauge Network".   Below please find the abstract of his summer work that will be presented at the 28th Conference on Hydrology during94th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting, Feubruary 2-6, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Abstract

Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) products from the National Mosaic and QPE System (NMQ) are compared with an independent rain gauge network in the Southern Delmarva Peninsula.  The gauge network consists of 14 sites, where each site has three collocated tipping bucket rain gauges.  The observational period extends from May 2009 to April 2013; however, this study focuses on the Hurricane Sandy event.  A continuous record of gauge observations was constructed at each gauge site after careful quality control of the data.  Events with frozen precipitation were manually deleted and the collocated gauge observations showed excellent agreement.  The gauge record consists of the time of tip and the data (to the nearest second) and is integrated over 5-minutes to match the NMQ temporal resolution.  The NMQ products employed here have three different versions: basic Hybrid Scan Reflectivity (HSR), Radar Quality Index-filtered (RQI) and operational gauge-adjusted plus RQI-filtered (HCF). Preliminary results show that the rain/no-rain agreement between the gauges and HSR NMQ is 80.3%, and increases to 85.2% and 83.4% respectively when compared with the RQI and HCF NMQ.  Given that NMQ will be used as a validation product for the NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement mission satellite precipitation products and is also used by many other groups for rainfall estimation, it is important to carefully evaluate the NMQ and to provide feedback to its developers and our GPM partners at NOAA.

The University System of Maryland (USM) is 25 years old. And you are invited to participate in the celebration.

Throughout the 2013-14 academic year, the USM is observing this milestone with a look at the positive impact that USM has had—and continues to have—on the quality of life in Maryland and beyond. We’ve created a micro site that includes a timeline, a link to the story of how the system came to be, and some interesting facts about the system’s impact.

We’ve also transformed the USM Facebook page into the official 25th-anniversary party site. Be sure to LIKE the University System of Maryland on Facebook for regular updates and your chance to win prizes monthly.

There’s history to learn, information to share, an array of prizes to win, and enough pride to go around. Above all, there’s thanks to all who make it possible for the University System of Maryland to serve students and other individuals, communities, and the many organizations comprising the state’s public and private sectors with innovation, commitment, and excellence.

Visit the micro site at: www.usmd.edu/25. And be sure to LIKE the University System of Maryland on Facebook. Don’t miss the opportunity to join the celebration.

We offer special thanks to the sponsors whose donations have made this celebration possible. They are:

Barry Gossett, vice chair of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents; CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield; Delmarva Power; MICROS Systems, Inc.; PNC Foundation; The Classic Catering People; The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company; and the University System of Maryland Foundation.

Page edited by Andrea Mocko

  1. Go to http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newmedia/blackboard/scantron_gradebook.html to convert the scantron CSV file to a format recognized by Blackboard.
  2. Go to your course Control Panel and click on Grade Center , then Full Grade Center.
  3. Click on Work Offline (upper right of the  Grade Center) and then Upload.  Click on  Choose File and then navigate to the file that you created in Step 1.  Leave Delimiter Type set to Auto and click Submit.
  4. Confirm the process by making sure there is a check-mark in the Upload box.  Click Submit.  Any users in the test file who are not enrolled in your Bb course will appear in a red error bar at the top of the window.

  5. The grades should now appear in the Grade Center under the column "New Grade".

    Icon
    NOTE: The grade will be in text format so it will not be included in the Total or Weighted Total columns.  Proceed to the next step to change the grade format to score format.

To modify the column name, or the grade format click on the chevrons (action arrows) to the right of the column name and select Edit Column Information.  Replace New Grade with the appropriate column name, and under Primary Display, choose Score and click Submit.  The column information will now be updated.
