Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Improving cold-region streamflow estimation by winter precipitation adjustment using passive microwave snow remote sensing datasets

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Winter precipitation estimations and spatially sparse snow observations are key challenges when predicting snowmelt-driven floods. An improvement in streamflow prediction is achieved in a snowmelt-dominant basin, i.e.

Dynamic Decomposition of Sub‐Daily Antarctic Sea‐Ice Concentration Change Using Passive Microwave Swath Observations

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spaceborne radiometers have enabled global sea‐ice distribution observations since 1978, yet design choices associated with conventional daily averaged remote sensing products mean they do not resolve higher‐frequency variability that characterizes Antarctic sea ice.

Snow Cover Dynamics and Environmental Coupling Regulate Freezing Intensity Across China's Frozen Ground Regions

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and increasingly frequent hydroclimatic extremes are altering snowfall regimes and snow cover dynamics, with important implications for frozen‐ground stability. Yet the combined effects of snow cover and environmental controls on ground thermal conditions remain poorly constrained.

Antarctic summer sea ice concentration and extent: comparison of ODEN 2006 ship observations, satellite passive microwave and NIC sea ice charts [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2009
Antarctic sea ice cover has shown a slight increase (<1%/decade) in overall observed ice extent as derived from satellite mapping from 1979 to 2008, contrary to the decline observed in the Arctic regions.

Physically Consistent Synthesis of Tropical Cyclone Microwave Brightness Temperatures From Geostationary Infrared Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Analyzing the evolution of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) is critical for understanding their structure and intensity, but it has been limited by observational constraints. Spaceborne passive microwave (PMW) observations can penetrate both non‐precipitating and precipitating clouds and provide information on the vertical distribution of hydrometeors ...

Soft Tissue Sarcoma Burden and Research Productivity: Global Patterns and Disparities, 1990–2021

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare and diverse type of cancer, with a disproportionate incidence and limited global epidemiological studies. This study aims to analyze the long‐term trends and epidemiological features of the global burden of STS from 1990 to 2021 and to reveal the global research productivity on STS.

Antarctic Snowmelt Detected by Diurnal Variations of AMSR-E Brightness Temperature

Remote Sensing, 2018
Antarctic surface snowmelt is sensitive to the polar climate. The ascending and descending passes of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System Sensor (AMSR-E) observed the Antarctic ice sheet in the afternoon (the warmest ...

Roadmap for leveraging satellite data to advance soil moisture monitoring in Mainland Southeast Asia

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture monitoring is vital for Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA), a region that plays a pivotal role in global agricultural production. Strong reliance on rain‐fed agriculture, combined with frequent hydroclimatic extremes, makes MSEA one of the world's most climate‐sensitive regions.

Global Kilometer‐Scale Climate Storylines Using Spectral Nudging

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Effective climate adaptation benefits from detailed, actionable information on how specific extreme events are influenced by climate change. Here we present the first global, kilometer‐scale coupled modeling framework that enables counterfactual reconstructions of recent weather events, including extremes, in different climates.
