Mineral Dust Detection Using Satellite Data

Team 3 members gratefully acknowledge the NSF-funded CyberTraining program and all instructors for providing this chance for us to learn more about parallel computing. The hardware used in the computational studies is part of the UMBC High Performance Computing Facility (HPCF). The facility is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation through the MRI program (CNS–0821258, CNS–1228778, and OAC–1726023) and the SCREMS program (DMS–0821311), with additional substantial support from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). See hpcf.umbc.edu for more information on HPCF and the projects using its resources.
