While Bill Mosby’s specialty is the growing and vinification of fine Italian varietal wines, he also makes award-winning grappa, wild plum and raspberry distillatos. His experienced palate and careful, ongoing search for interesting new varietals have resulted in vintage after vintage of award-winning Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio and more. And then there’s his latest addition, Dolcetto — the everyday wine of Piemonte.
When Bill and Jeri purchased the old de la Vega land in the early 1970s, the first thing Bill did was plant vines. “Noah did that,” he says quietly. “First thing he did. Plant a vineyard.” Among those early Mosby wines was Gewürztraminer, Jeri’s favorite. “It’s still my favorite,” says Jeri. “I’m going to miss having it in the tasting room.” The Mosby’s first commercial wines were bottled under the Vega label, named after the old land grant. Bill’s wine began to gain industry attention, and a following of Mosby wine enthusiasts continued to develop. In 1986, at his family’s insistence, Bill changed the Vega label to reflect the Mosby name and winemaking philosophy.
Over the years the Mosby vineyards have expanded, the wines have evolved; a Mosby style has reached maturity. A part-time grower and winemaker all of his adult life, Bill Mosby finally made the career move to full-time grower and winemaker in 1998. A successful dentist for over 40 years, William M. Mosby, DMD, became Bill Mosby, full-time winemaker — artist of the vine.

This talk summarizes a satellite remote sensing system development started in 1993 now nearing completion and launch. Key to this new system was user-defined geophysical measurement requirements to define the specification prior to design. The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) will replace three current systems: the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Line Scanner (OLS) providing global tactical weather support since the late 1960’s the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) providing global civilian weather observations for 30 years, and the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) providing scientific environmental monitoring for ten years. VIIRS will provide global civil and defense operational observation as well as scientific long-term trend assessments including climate.
Dr. Schueler retired from Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing (formerly Hughes SBRC Systems Division) in 2006 as Chief Scientist. He led VIIRS from conceptual studies in the early 1990’s to detail design in 2002, and was the Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor Technical Director to 2006. He is an industry consultant, serves on UCSB Institute of Computational Earth System Science (ICESS) Advisory Committee, the Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) Earth Observation Conference Program Committee, and the National Research Council (NRC) committee to ensure the continuation of satellite climate data records. He received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from UCSB in 1980 under a Hughes Fellowship.
