Jordan Gerth

Jordan Gerth is a supervisory physical scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Office of Systems Architecture and Engineering (SAE), and an honorary fellow for the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC), part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I am currently overseeing the Architecture Planning and System Innovation branch at NESDIS SAE, with responsibility for flight and ground architectures and joint venture projects that support environmental satellites.

My primary area of interest is the development and transition of meteorological observations and research, particularly involving remote sensing, into the operational weather forecasting environment. I previously developed National Weather Service (NWS) requirements and a mission concept for the next generation of geostationary and polar weather satellites under the GeoXO and NEON programs. I have managed projects advancing remote sensing missions and research, meteorological data software applications, and stakeholder communications related to weather satellites.
