Abstract The radar surface echo can be separated into coherent and incoherent components by statistical approaches, and the coherent component can be described by a backscattering model related to the RMS height. According to backscattering models for fractal surfaces, the coherent power in decibels decreases with RMS height on a scale independent of ...

Enhanced Wintertime Current Along the South China Sea Continental Slope Over the Past Three Decades
Abstract The slope current in the northwest South China Sea (SCS) plays a vital role in regulating mass and nutrient exchange between the coastal region and the open ocean. Over the past three decades, this current has exhibited a significant increasing trend, indicating a much stronger marginal sea‐open ocean interaction.

Applying Hpo Indices to Empirical Thermospheric Density Models During Geomagnetic Storms
Abstract Accurate atmospheric drag modeling is essential for precise orbit determination and prediction of Low Earth Orbit satellites. A key component is the thermospheric density, typically estimated using empirical models driven by geomagnetic activity indices such as the 3‐hr Kp or ap.

Algorithm Theoretical Basis for Version 3 TEMPO Level 0–1 Processor
Abstract The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument is the first spaceborne hyperspectral spectrometer that measures backscattered sunlight over North America in a geostationary orbit. The two charge‐coupled device (CCD) detectors of TEMPO, with spectral coverages of 293–494 and 538–741 nm and resolutions of 0.53–0.63 nm ...

Modeling Geoid and Dynamic Topography From Tomography‐Based Thermo‐Chemical Mantle Convection
Abstract Mantle convection causes the most important contribution to the geoid and dynamic topography. With mantle density inferred from high‐resolution tomography models and numerical methods solving the governing equations of viscous mantle flow, the modeled geoid can fit the observations well.
