The GLAS physical inversion method for analysis of HIRS2/MSU sounding data [PDF]
Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheric Sciences has developed a method to derive atmospheric temperature profiles, sea or land surface temperatures, sea ice extent and snow cover, and cloud heights and fractional cloud, from HIRS2/MSU radiance data.

Linking remote-sensing estimates of land cover and census statistics on land use to produce maps of land use of the conterminous United States [PDF]
Human use of the land has a large effect on the structure of terrestrial ecosystems and the dynamics of biogeochemical cycles. For this reason, terrestrial ecosystem and biogeochemistry models require moderate resolution (e.g., ≤0.5°) information on land

Trends in Sea Ice and Snow-Cover Extent: A Fractional Integration Analysis
Abstract This paper analyzes monthly data on the sea ice cover extent from January 1979 to April 2024 and on the snow-cover extent from January 1972 to April 2024 for various regions of the world using fractional integration methods.
