Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Greater Water Surface Variability Revealed by New Congo River Field Data: Implications for Satellite Altimetry Measurements of Large Rivers

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Large river hydrodynamics studies inform global and regional issues pertaining to biogeochemical cycling, ecology, water availability, and flood risk. Such studies rely increasingly on satellite measurements, but these are limited by resolution, coverage,

Optimal surface relief reconstruction from both the photometric and the altimetric data [PDF]

open access: yesРадиофизика и электроника, 2019
Subject and purpose. The paper discusses the extension of the photometric method for the surface relief retrieval from images in the optical and radar wavelengths ranges through the involving of the direct heights measurements by an altimeter onboard the

Satellite techniques for determining the geopotential for sea-surface elevations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Spaceborne altimetry with measurement accuracies of a few centimeters which has the potential to determine sea surface elevations necessary to compute accurate three-dimensonal geostrophic currents from traditional hydrographic observation is discussed ...

Rapid submarine ice melting in the grounding zones of ice shelves in West Antarctica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Enhanced submarine ice-shelf melting strongly controls ice loss in the Amundsen Sea embayment (ASE) of West Antarctica, but its magnitude is not well known in the critical grounding zones of the ASE's major glaciers.

Stage‐Specific Indicators of Northern Yellowtail Rockfish (Sebastes flavidus) Recruitment in the California Current Ecosystem

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanographic and ecological conditions can be used to inform forecasts and decision‐making for marine resources, but the dominant drivers of recruitment variability remain poorly understood for many fish stocks. We developed a conceptual life‐history model of the oceanographic and ecological variables that influence the recruitment of ...

GNSS Transpolar Earth Reflectometry exploriNg System (G-TERN): Mission Concept

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) Transpolar Earth Reflectometry exploriNg system (G-TERN) was proposed in response to ESA’s Earth Explorer 9 revised call by a team of 33 multi-disciplinary scientists.

Application of pushbroom altimetry from space using large space antennas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The capabilities of multibeam altimetry are discussed and an interferometric multibeam technique for doing precision altimetry is described. The antenna feed horn arrangement and the resulting footprint lube pattern are illustrated.

Forecasting Climate Change Using a Multivariate Cointegrated System

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A cointegrated vector equilibrium correction model of key climate variables including sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, Arctic sea‐ice extent and sea‐level change is built, driven by radiative forcing in which a stochastic trend arises due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.

Sea level change in the Malaysian seas from multi-satellite altimeter data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Seas from satellite altimetry data of the Topex, Jason-1, ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat missions. During the past two decades, satellite altimeter has provided its capability in measuring the global mean of sea level with precision better than 1 mm/year.
