Geolocation Assessment and Optimization for OMPS Nadir Mapper: Methodology
Onboard both the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series of satellites, the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite Nadir Mapper (OMPS-NM) is a new generation of a total ozone column sensor and is used to ...

Beyond SMAP: Can GNSS‐R Platforms Ensure Continuity of Global Soil Moisture Observations?
Abstract The absence of a definitive follow‐on strategy for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, which has already surpassed its planned mission lifetime, presents a significant challenge for the hydrological science community. GNSS‐Reflectometry (GNSS‐R), which exploits reflected satellite navigation signals, has emerged as a rapidly ...

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

Atmospheric Constituent Data Assimilation in NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System
Abstract Many of today's most significant and urgent scientific questions, including those about the impact of human activity on air quality and radiative forcing, require the synthesis of observations of atmospheric constituents and scientific theory.
