Comparing Winds near Tropical Oceanic Precipitation Systems with and without Lightning

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
In order to examine how robust updraft strength and ice-based microphysical processes aloft in storms may affect convective outflows near the surface, ocean winds were compared between tropical maritime precipitation systems with and without lightning ...

Cross-evaluation of modelled and remotely sensed surface soil moisture with in situ data in southwestern France [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010
The SMOSMANIA soil moisture network in Southwestern France is used to evaluate modelled and remotely sensed soil moisture products. The surface soil moisture (SSM) measured in situ at 5 cm permits to evaluate SSM from the SIM operational ...

The ASCAT Soil Moisture Product: A Review of its Specifications, Validation Results, and Emerging Applications

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2013
Many physical, chemical and biological processes taking place at the land surface are strongly influenced by the amount of water stored within the upper soil layers. Therefore, many scientific disciplines require soil moisture observations for developing,

Assimilation of ASCAT Radar Backscatter Coefficients over Southwestern France

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
In this work, Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) backscatter data are directly assimilated into the interactions between soil, biosphere, and atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model using Meteo-France’s global Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS-Monde) tool in ...
