Evaluating SWOT in the Coastal Zone: Comparisons With Tide Gauge and Airborne LiDAR in the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary, UK

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Traditional nadir altimeters struggle with coastal water surface elevation (WSE) measurement and fine‐scale river‐estuary interactions, due to land‐water signal interference and their wide inter‐track spacing. The wide‐swath Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, using a new Ka‐band radar interferometer, aims to address these ...

Determination and Sensitivity Analysis of the Specular Reflection Point in GNSS Reflectometry

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023
In applying Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) techniques for the remote sensing of surface properties of the Earth, it is imperative to determine the specular reflection point and provide a quantitative characterization of the ...

TGCAT—A Tool to Analyse the Content of Sea Level Data Portals

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
TGCAT is an online tool (www.sonel.org/tgcat) to help sea level data providers, data aggregators, and data users to visualise available tide gauge datasets. It is aimed to improve data referencing and discoverability in the global tide gauge data centres. The code has been fully developed in Python and is open‐source.

Leveraging the CYGNSS Spaceborne GNSS‐R Observations to Detect Ionospheric Irregularities Over the Oceans: Method and Verification

Space Weather, 2022
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has significantly facilitated the detection of ionospheric irregularities. Nevertheless, the ground‐based GNSS stations are inhomogeneously distributed around the world with large gaps, especially in the vast

A Modified Hierarchical Vision Transformer for Soil Moisture Retrieval From CYGNSS Data

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract This research introduces a new deep learning (DL) framework, multi‐head self‐attention‐aided vision Transformer (MSA‐ViT), for soil moisture (SM) retrieval using Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) data. We first assess the sensitivity of CYGNSS reflectivity (Γ) $({\Gamma })$ to SM, demonstrating a strong physical linkage ...

A Unified Optimization Framework for LEO Hybrid Constellations Using an Improved Continuous Coefficient Method

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations are increasingly deployed to provide integrated services such as communication, navigation augmentation, and remote sensing. However, traditional constellation designs—such as Walker, streets‐of‐coverage (SoC), and Flower constellations—rely on distinct parameter sets, making unified optimization of hybrid ...

What's Next for Snow: Insights From the NASA Terrestrial Hydrology Program Community Snow Meeting

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Earth's snow cover strongly influences the climate system and represents an important resource for agricultural, industrial, and domestic water use. The last decade of snow‐focused research has improved our understanding of snow across scales. These efforts have culminated in new snow measurement instruments and methods, operational models for

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.
