Depth‐Aware Global Calibration of SM2RAIN‐NWF Using Growing Neural Gas‐Derived Hydroclimatic Clusters Across Heterogeneous Soils

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Accurate rainfall information underpins land‐surface water budgets, extreme‐weather analyses, and climate‐model evaluation. Yet in many regions, rain gauge networks are sparse, making conventional calibration of bottom up rainfall products difficult. To address this, we propose a self calibration framework that removes the need for a dedicated

Evaluation of the Ocean Surface Wind Speed Change following the Super Typhoon from Space-Borne GNSS-Reflectometry

Remote Sensing, 2020
Ocean surface wind speed is an essential parameter for typhoon monitoring and forecasting. However, traditional satellite and buoy observations are difficult to monitor the typhoon due to high cost and low temporal-spatial resolution.

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
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.

Satellite‐Based Estimation of Near‐Surface Specific Humidity During Tropical Cyclones in the Western North Pacific and North Atlantic

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The near‐surface specific humidity is critical for accurately estimating the enthalpy flux from the ocean, which plays an important role in tropical cyclone intensification. However, under the severe oceanic and atmospheric conditions of these storms, even spaceborne microwave radiometers struggle to retrieve reliable humidity data.

The Indian Ocean–Land–Atmosphere (IOLA)‐Coupled Mesoscale Prediction Framework for Inland Severe Weather and Coastal Hazards Forecasting

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
For seamless prediction of severe weather across scales, we developed the Indian Ocean–Land–Atmosphere (IOLA) Coupled Regional Prediction System. Extensive testing demonstrates that IOLA significantly improves predictions, particularly for monsoon‐driven heavy rainfall and coastal hazards.

Unlocking the potential of CYGNSS for pan-tropical inland water mapping through multi-source data and transformer

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CyGNSS) data are widely recognized for their sensitivity to inland water bodies. However, the detection of water bodies using single CyGNSS data is subject to uncertainties, presenting challenges for large ...

Detecting Localized Floods in Tropical Regions With CYGNSS SmallSat Constellation: A Proof of Concept From the Maritime Continent

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Flooding events are a major contributor to natural disasters across the global tropics. However, reliable flood data are sparse, which limits our ability to understand flood dynamics across spatial and temporal scales. Here, data from the CYGNSS SmallSat constellation are utilized to identify small‐ to regional‐scale flooding events in Sumatra.

Distribution of Plastics of Various Sizes and Densities in the Global Ocean From a 3D Eulerian Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract We study the global transport and distribution of microplastics (MPs) using a three‐dimensional Eulerian model. For the first time, the effects of both particle size and density are accounted for, influencing the vertical transport of MPs, and leading to an advanced understanding of their global distribution.
