Towards an integrated soil moisture drought monitor for East Africa [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2012
Drought in East Africa is a recurring phenomenon with significant humanitarian impacts. Given the steep climatic gradients, topographic contrasts, general data scarcity, and, in places, political instability that characterize the region, there is a need ...

Different Observations of Sea Surface Wind Pattern Under Deep Convection by Sentinel-1 SARs, Scatterometers, and Radiometers in Collocation

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Strong ocean surface mean and gust winds associated with deep convection can cause significant damages. It is hard to estimate surface convective wind gusts since they may occur suddenly and become intense quickly.

Toward the GMF for Wind Speed and Surface Stress Retrieval in Hurricanes Based on the Collocated GPS-Dropsonde and Remote Sensing Data

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
This article describes the first step toward the development of the geophysical model function (GMF) for the retrieval of wind speed and wind stress in hurricanes, based on developing a relation between the cross-polarized satellite SAR data from Sentinel-1 and winds/stress observed from collocated NOAA GPS-dropsondes data.

On the Trail of Creativity: Dimensionality of Divergent Thinking and Its Relation With Cognitive Abilities, Personality, and Insight

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Divergent thinking (DT) is an important constituent of creativity that captures aspects of fluency and originality. The literature lacks multivariate studies that report relationships between DT and its aspects with relevant covariates, such as cognitive abilities, personality traits (e.g. openness), and insight. In two multivariate studies (N

Exploring Machine Learning to Correct Satellite-Derived Sea Surface Temperatures

Remote Sensing, 2018
Machine learning techniques are attractive tools to establish statistical models with a high degree of non linearity. They require a large amount of data to be trained and are therefore particularly suited to analysing remote sensing data.

Site representativity of AERONET and GAW remotely sensed aerosol optical thickness and absorbing aerosol optical thickness observations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
Remote sensing observations from the AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) and GAW (Global Atmosphere Watch) networks are intermittent in time and have a limited field of view. A global high-resolution simulation (Goddard Earth Observing System Model (GEOS-5)

Assessment of Level-3 Gridded Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Products Over Oceans

Remote Sensing, 2019
The performance of Level-3 gridded Global Precipitation Mission (GPM)-based precipitation products (IMERG, Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM) is assessed against two references over oceans: the OceanRAIN dataset, derived from oceanic ...

Error characterisation of global active and passive microwave soil moisture datasets [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010
Understanding the error structures of remotely sensed soil moisture observations is essential for correctly interpreting observed variations and trends in the data or assimilating them in hydrological or numerical weather prediction models. Nevertheless,

HOAPS precipitation validation with ship-borne rain gauge measurements over the Baltic Sea [PDF]

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2012
Global ocean precipitation is an important part of the water cycle in the climate system. A number of efforts have been undertaken to acquire reliable estimates of precipitation over the oceans based on remote sensing and reanalysis modelling.

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Gridded L-, C-, and X-Band Microwave Soil Moisture Product over the CZO in the Central Ganga Plains, India

Remote Sensing, 2022
Recent developments in passive microwave remote sensing have provided an effective tool for monitoring global soil moisture (SM) observations on a spatiotemporal basis, filling the gap of uneven in-situ measurement distribution.
