Recently Dr. Joseph has helped develop and lead the following major projects in collaboration with many colleagues.

The Beltsville Center for Climate System Observation -- Dr. Joseph worked will many colleagues at Howard, NASA, NOAA, Penn State University, UMBC, and other institutions to develop  this unique interdisciplinary, multi-institutional and multi-agency endeavor to study key atmospheric processes (e.g., changing composition and resulting impacts, planetary boundary layer) in an evolving urban-rural interface that are particularly relevant to numerical weather prediction (NWP), and climate and air quality prediction.  For his project his group has worked on surface-based remote sensing of clouds and aerosols over land and ocean for studying cloud-aerosol interactions; established a unique data set of atmospheric concentrations of ozone to study air pollution over the Mid-Atlantic, and chemistry over the tropical Atlantic; and observed land-atmospheric exchanges of momentum, heat, and mass over heterogeneous environments to improve representation of planetary boundary processes (e.g., evolution of boundary layer heights) in numerical models.

Aerosol and Ocean Science Expeditions (AEROSE) – AEROSE a series of trans-Atlantic intensive observation campaigns.  AEROSE has amass one of the most extensive collections of in situ measurements of the Saharan air layer (SAL) and associated African dust and smoke outflows over the tropical Atlantic Ocean.  AEROSE research is contributing to understanding of the following scientific issues among others: transport, microphysical evolution and regional impacts of aerosols in the tropical Atlantic, and regional atmospheric chemistry and marine meteorology.  Dr. Joseph's group has led the ozone sounding, energy budget, and surface active and passive remote sensing of dust, smoke and cloud aerosol optical properties measurements.

The New State Mesonet - Dr. Joseph co-leads the development of the New York Mesonet which is an early warning system to aid forecasters, state emergency managers and the public mitigate the effects of hazardous weather.  This system will consist of 125 observing stations.   Seventeen of the stations will be enhanced sites including energy budget and fluxes, atmospheric profiles of state variables for passive and active remote sensors, passive observations of cloud and aerosol.  Dr. Joseph's group will focus on developing new approaches for retrieving aerosol, cloud and PBL properties synergistically on a network scale for operational application in nowcasting and NWP applications.   They will also be interested  in integrating satellite and radar data to study cloud and aerosol processes and broader questions of their role in the hydrological cycle.

The US-Taiwan Program for International Research and Education (US-Taiwan PIRE) --  Dr. Joseph is PI on this international interdisciplinary research and education project funded by NSF in 2015.  The project seeks to address the challenges associated with extreme weather resiliency with a particular focus on studying the extent to which the impacts/risks of extreme precipitation can be reduced through better understanding of the connection between weather and climate trends,  improvements to NWP and climate models and related methodologies and a better understanding of decision-making risk and response during extreme weather events. For this project Dr. Joseph's group will conduct specific research in collaboration with researchers at Albany and Taiwan focused on applying observations to investigate retrieval and application cloud and aerosol information.
