Institutional visit by the regional councillor Sandra Savaglio to the CNR-ISAC headquarter in Lamezia Terme: "Calabrian excellence"
The Regional Councillor for Research, University and Education of the Calabria Region Sandra Savaglio visited the ISAC headquarter in Lamezia Terme.
The visit allowed the councillor, an internationally renowned scientist, to learn more about the research activities carried out in the institute: from the measurements of natural and anthropogenic sources, useful for the observation of polluting and climate-altering dynamics, to specific atmospheric studies related to intense weather events.
Researches in Antarctica: Isac still present
For the seasonal reopening of the Zucchelli base in Antarctica, among the 5 CNR researchers who took part in this year's expedition, there is Dr. Alessandro Bracci Cnr-Isac associate researcher, PhD student at the University of Bologna who works on multidisciplinary issues focused on the microphysics of precipitation.
Dr. Bracci was recently interviewed by the journal Green blue in an interesting article that highlights the role of Italian scientists in Antarctica: among penguin mummies, melting ice and anti-Covid measurements".
Snowfall over the ice-free ocean: what we can learn from the latest frontiers researches
The CloudSat 94 GHz radar provides the most complete snowfall climatology over polar regions, but accurate quantitative snowfall estimates derived from radar reflectivity (figure in the preview) remain challenging. The published work  explores the value of the CloudSat 94 GHz Brightness Temperature, a novel product developed from the processing of the radar noise floor level, combined with path-integrated attenuation, a standard product derived from the reduction in the radar surface return.
