EDUCATION
Master of Science in Atmospheric Science (1999-2001) University of Alabama in Huntsville, Atmospheric Science Department, Master's Thesis: Inter-Comparison of GOES-8 Imager and Sounder Skin Temperature Retrievals
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (1992-1997) University of Alabama in Huntsville, Department of Mathematical Sciences

Stephanie L. Haines received a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics in 1997, and a Master's Degree in Atmospheric Science in 2001, both from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. She is currently a Research Associate at the University of Alabama in Huntsville working closely with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center scientists within the Short-term Prediction and Research Transition (SPoRT) program. Her research interests are in satellite remote sensing, in particular deriving products from GOES and MODIS, and providing near real-time EOS satellite data to NWS offices as part of the SPoRT program.

Haines does composite generation and analysis of MODIS sea surface temperature data, and the transition of MODIS imagery and products to several NWS offices. She also works with GOES imager on cloud mask work and validation, and was lead author on the NASA technical memo "The GOES Product Generation System." In the past, she has also worked on the MODIS SPoRT web pages, and the GOES products web pages. Her graduate work involved satellite data processing and analysis, the retrieval of geophysical parameters from the GOES satellites, and the study of skin temperature from the GOES Imager and Sounder instruments, with emphasis on spatial resolution and calibration differences.
