Airborne lidar observations supporting the ADM-Aeolus mission for global wind profiling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Atmospheric Dynamics Mission ADM-Aeolus of ESA will be the first lidar mission to sense the global wind field from space. The instrument is based on a direct-detection Doppler lidar operating at 354.9 nm with two spectrometers for aerosol/cloud ...

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Infragravity Waves Across a Steep‐Sloping Rough Rocky Seabed on the Inner Shelf

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Observations of infragravity (IG) waves were conducted from June to October 2023 along the rocky shores off China Rock, CA, on the inner shelf at depths of 8–13 m. The study examines inner‐shelf IG wave dynamics over rough, steep rocky shores and compares them with those over smoother, gentler sandy shores and coral reefs. IG energy correlated

Targeted observations with an airborne wind lidar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This study investigates the possibilities and limitations of airborne Doppler lidar for adaptive observations over the Atlantic Ocean. For the first time, a scanning 2-µm Doppler lidar was applied for targeted measurements during the Atlantic The ...

The Parguera Fault System: Possible Quaternary Reactivation of Bedrock Faults in Southwest Puerto Rico

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We present evidence of a previously unrecognized east‐west‐trending normal fault, named the Parguera Fault, in southwest Puerto Rico. The fault is located at the northwestern edge of seismicity from the southwest Puerto Rico seismic sequence that began in 2019, near the coastal town of La Parguera.

A New Global Hypsometric Data Set Derived From Satellite and Geometric Methods for Reservoir Storage Estimation

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Reservoir hypsometric relationships are crucial in determining water storage changes and modeling hydrological processes. Previous studies have demonstrated that uncertainties in reservoir surface area observations are a primary source of error in satellite‐derived storage estimates.

Lakes Amplify Carbon Emissions Relative to Downstream Export in Aquatic Networks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Inland waters emit and export large quantities of carbon (C), and the balance between emission and export determines the role of inland waters in the global C cycle. Modeling studies of stream‐lake networks suggest that C emission‐to‐export ratios (emission:export) are higher in lake‐rich networks with longer network residence times (NRT), yet

Airborne Lidar Bathymetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department of the Japan Coast Guard (JHOD) has been conducting airborne lidar bathymetry (ALB) for 14 years. Owing to ALB's survey efficiency and high resolution, JHOD has applied the technique to various purposes such ...

First Assessment of ICESat‐2 Summer Sea Ice Freeboard With Airborne Validation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract ICESat‐2 has demonstrated solid performance in retrieving sea ice freeboard during winter, when sea ice surface types are well‐defined and leads provide reliable sea surface height references. Summer retrievals are challenging because melt ponds are not explicitly distinguished in the ATL07 surface classification and may be identified as ice ...
