Abstract Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) pose severe impacts on human health and the economy, with spatially widespread events typically resulting in greater losses than localized ones. Unraveling the spatial extent of these events is key to anticipating and mitigating their risks, but global insights remain notably lacking.

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a critical role in water and energy budgets over the land surface. Eddy Covariance (EC) is the most widely used technique to measure ET at ecosystem scale, providing insights into land–atmosphere interactions and serving as a benchmark for Earth System Models (ESMs).

GOES‐R Series X‐Ray Sensor (XRS): 2. On‐Orbit Measurements and Calibrations
Abstract An X‐Ray Sensor (XRS) has been onboard each of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) since 1975. XRS measures full‐disk soft X‐ray irradiance in two wavelength bands, 0.05–0.4 nm and 0.1–0.8 nm.

Written Summary: Measuring energy exchanges between land and atmosphere is fundamental to understanding climate, but these measurements are systematically incomplete, with 20%–40% of energy consistently unaccounted for. Analyzing data from 84 sites worldwide, we show that carefully tracking all energy components and applying strict data quality filters

Evapotranspiration Everywhere, All the Time: Towards a Unified View From Earth Observation
This paper discusses the evolution and revolution of Earth observation for evapotranspiration (ET), as we advanced from the first Landsat satellite and development of ET models through the progression of increasingly higher resolution across international space agencies and commercial industry with increasing ET model sophistication, cloud computing ...
