Specialization: Programming and Software development

Mr. Braithwaite brings over 15 years of extensive experience as a systems analyst using a wide variety of programming environments and tools to CHRS.

He has worked with Professor Soroosh Sorooshian and his research team on the PERSIANN (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks) Project. PERSIANN is an ongoing precipitation estimation project that began in 1995 and has expanded from small study areas to operational global coverage. His role is to handle the entire process for operational versions of the model and input data (IR, radar, microwave, gauge) and data visualization for the research versions.
