Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.

Evaluation and Validation of CryoSat-2-Derived Water Levels Using In Situ Lake Data from China
CryoSat-2 altimetry has become a valuable tool for monitoring the water level of lakes. In this study, a concentrated probability density function (PDF) method was proposed for preprocessing CryoSat-2 Geophysical Data Record (GDR) data.

Monitoring Reservoir Storage Using SWOT Satellite Observations and a Reservoir Operation Model
Abstract Reservoirs play a critical role in water management, yet comprehensive and real‐time observations of reservoir storage remain limited, especially outside the U.S. Observations of two reservoir‐related attributes, Water Surface Elevation (WSE) and Surface Area (SA), which can be used to calculate reservoir storage change, are often ...

Since the nadir 1-second altimetry precision was first estimated to be of 56 cm when the PARIS concept was developed back in 1993 (it was assumed the interferometric processing of GPS P-code signals and a 4×4 m×m receiving antenna at 700 km orbital altitude) [1], many detailed analyses and experiments have been conducted leading to far more optimistic ...

Influences of Structural and Species Diversity on Forest Resistance to Drought
Forest structural richness and species evenness respectively show positive and negative relationships with forest resistance to drought. These relationships between richness and resistance and between evenness and resistance become stronger under more severe droughts.

ABSTRACT Quantifying where marine organisms are born and subsequently disperse to is essential for fisheries management. Here, we conducted Lagrangian particle tracking of viviparous rockfish (Sebastes spp.) collected in the Southern California Bight over the course of 16 years.

Flood Risk Communications Through Maps: Challenges, Perception Theories and Approaches
ABSTRACT Flood risk communication is a core component of flood risk management, yet persistent challenges limit its effectiveness in supporting public understanding, preparedness and adaptive behaviour. Here, we examine flood risk maps as communication tools at the interface of scientific modelling, visual design, and human risk perception.

Ocean Eddy Identification and Tracking using Neural Networks
Global climate change plays an essential role in our daily life. Mesoscale ocean eddies have a significant impact on global warming, since they affect the ocean dynamics, the energy as well as the mass transports of ocean circulation.

Abstract Kinetic energy (KE) transfer between spatial scales contributes to the ocean's energy budget by linking scales of KE supply and KE dissipation. Numerical simulations have indicated that for scales smaller than the baroclinic deformation radius, cross‐scale KE transfer has complex spatial and temporal variability, modulated by mixed layer ...
