معرفی
Simon Good is a Researcher at the UK Met Office specializing in sea surface temperature (SST) datasets and satellite remote sensing. His work centers on the OSTIA (Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Ice Analysis) system, producing global SST analyses critical for climate monitoring and operational forecasting. He collaborates extensively with international agencies including EUMETSAT, NOAA, and academic institutions on climate data reprocessing and validation.
His research interests focus on:
- Development of long-term satellite-based SST climate data records
- Validation of ocean remote sensing products
- Analysis of marine extreme events (heatwaves/cold spells)
- Quality control methodologies for oceanographic data
- Climate applications of reprocessed satellite datasets
- Operational implementation of SST systems
Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate his leadership in advancing SST science, particularly through OSTIA system improvements and marine extreme event analysis. His work bridges satellite observations with climate science, emphasizing dataset accuracy for climate trend detection. Key themes include reprocessing historical data since 1980, validating new reference sensors like SLSTR, and establishing robust quality control for ocean profiles.
Good actively contributes to international climate monitoring initiatives through collaborations with scientists from EUMETSAT (Craig Donlon), NOAA (Bill Mills, Tim Boyer), and academic partners (Christopher Merchant at University of Reading). His research within the Met Office Hadley Centre directly supports UK climate services and global observing system requirements.
