An Automatic Method to Detect Lake Ice Phenology Using MODIS Daily Temperature Imagery
Lake ice phenology is a climate-sensitive indicator. However, ground-based monitoring suffers from the limitations of human vision and the difficulty of its implementation in harsh environments.

Lake Ice Phenology Extraction using Machine Learning Methodology
Abstract Lake-ice phenology is one of the key cryosphere indicators. Based on changes in time series of daily lake ice coverage and the microwave brightness temperature, two machine-learning methods were selected for estimating the phenology of lake ice.

Sea ice phenology in the Caspian Sea
To understand the spatial and temporal variations in the extent and timing of sea ice in the Caspian Sea (CS), 15 years of sea ice presence and its phenology (freeze-up, break-up, and duration) were studied in the Northern CS (NCS) for a period from 2004 to 2018.

Climate change at the ecosystem scale: a 50-year record in New Hampshire [PDF]
Observing the full range of climate change impacts at the local scale is difficult. Predicted rates of change are often small relative to interannual variability, and few locations have sufficiently comprehensive long-term records of environmental ...

Observational evidence for the convective transport of dust over the central United States [PDF]
Bulk aerosol composition and aerosol size distributions measured aboard the DC-8 aircraft during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment mission in May/June 2012 were used to investigate the transport of mineral dust through nine storms ...

Analysis of ice phenology of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau from MODIS data [PDF]
The Tibetan Plateau includes a large system of endorheic (closed basin) lakes. Lake ice phenology, i.e. the timing of freeze-up and break-up and the duration of the ice cover may provide valuable information about climate variations in this region.
