Roy Warren Spencer is a meteorologist, Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aqua Project Science )〕 He has served as Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.〔〔 He is known for his satellite-based temperature monitoring work, for which he was awarded the American Meteorological Society's Special Award.〔 ==Education and career== Spencer received a B.S. in atmospheric sciences from the University of Michigan in 1978 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1980 and 1982.〔 His doctoral thesis was titled, ''A case study of African wave structure and energetics during Atlantic transit''. After receiving his Ph.D. in 1982, Spencer worked for two years as a research scientist in the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.〔 He then joined NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center as a visiting scientist in 1984,〔 where he later became Senior Scientist for Climate Studies.〔 After leaving NASA in 2001, Spencer has been Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).〔 As well as his position at UAH, Spencer is currently the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite, a position he has held since 1994.〔 In 2001, he designed an algorithm to detect tropical cyclones and estimate their maximum sustained wind speed using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Detecting Tropical Cyclones Using AMSU )〕 Spencer has been a member of several science teams: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Space Station Accommodations Analysis Study Team, Science Steering Group for TRMM, TOVS Pathfinder Working Group, NASA Headquarters Earth Science and Applications Advisory Subcommittee, and two National Research Council (NRC) study panels.〔 He is on the board of directors of the George C. Marshall Institute, and on the board of advisors of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cornwall Alliance Board of Advisors )〕 Spencer's research work is funded by NASA, NOAA, DOE and the DOT.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roy Spencer (scientist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
