Long-term snow disasters during 1982–2012 in the Tibetan Plateau using satellite data

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
Taking the Tibetan Plateau (TP) as a study area, we developed an algorithm to generate long-term four-level snow disaster products (1982–2012) using a new daily snow depth product with a spatial resolution of 0.05° using AVHRR archival reflectance ...

Diurnal cycle and seasonal variation of cloud cover over the Tibetan Plateau as determined from Himawari-8 new-generation geostationary satellite data

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Analysis of cloud cover and its diurnal variation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is highly reliant on satellite data; however, the accuracy of cloud detection from both polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites over this area remains unclear.

Fundamental challenges to remote sensing of exo-earths

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT Inferring the climate and surface conditions of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zone is a major goal for the field of exoplanet science. This pursuit will require both statistical analyses of the population of habitable planets as well as in-depth analyses of the climates of individual planets.

Modeling and validation of environmental suitability for Schistosomiasis transmission using remote sensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Schistosomiasis is the most widespread water-based disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Transmission is governed by the spatial distribution of specific freshwater snails that act as intermediate hosts and human water contact patterns. Remote sensing data have

Forward a spatio-temporal trend surface for long-term ground-measured albedo upscaling over heterogeneous land surface

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth, 2018
Upscaling ground albedo is challenged by the serious discrepancy between the heterogeneity of land surfaces and the small number of ground-based measurements.
