Characterizing the Shape of Cloud Particle Size Distributions in High‐Latitude Marine Cold‐Air Outbreaks

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Marine cold‐air outbreaks (MCAOs) drive significant evolutions in marine boundary layer clouds and play a crucial role in high‐latitude climate systems. This study examines the variability of cloud particle size distributions (PSDs) in high‐latitude MCAOs and how well their spectral shapes are represented by the gamma shape parameter μ used in

Assessing Causes and Consequences of Winter Surface Water Dynamics in California's Central Valley Using Satellite Remote Sensing

Journal of Flood Risk Management
California's Central Valley is increasingly vulnerable to winter floods. A comprehensive spatial baseline of flood extents is critical for inundation analyses that can enhance future flood predictions, but cloud cover has prevented the regular ...

Retrieval of Green-up Onset Date From MODIS Derived NDVI in Grasslands of Inner Mongolia

IEEE Access, 2019
In this paper, moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was used to retrieve the onset date of spring phenology in grasslands of Inner Mongolia from 2002 to 2017.

The Remarkable 2024 North Atlantic Mid‐Season Hurricane Lull

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract The 2024 North Atlantic (hereafter Atlantic) hurricane season started quickly, with the earliest Category 5 on record (Beryl) and three hurricanes forming through 14 August. Following Ernesto's dissipation on 20 August, the Atlantic hurricane season became extremely quiet during the climatological peak of hurricane season, with only one ...

Estimating potential soil erosion for environmental services in a sugarcane growing area using multisource remote sensing data [PDF]

, 2013
Characterization of landscapes is crucial in modelling potential soil erosion to ascertain environmental services that are provided by the main land use in the ecosystem. Remote sensing techniques have proved successful in characterization of landscapes.

Impacts of Vegetation Greening on Summer Mean and Extreme Land Surface Temperatures in Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Vegetation greening in China is known to cool the land surface by altering the energy budget through biophysical processes. However, its mitigation effects on extreme temperatures and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we use coupled land‐atmosphere model simulations to quantitatively assess the effects of vegetation ...

All‐Sky Assimilation of FY‐4B AGRI Reflectance in the CMA‐MESO Model With ARMS as a Forward Operator

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract All‐sky assimilation of visible and near‐infrared observations has attracted widespread attention. In the CMA‐MESO model, this study proposes an optimized reflectance scheme based on the Ross‐Li bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model.

How to determine the leaf area index (LAI) of forests: A comparison of forest inventory versus satellite-driven estimates

Forest Ecosystems
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key measure of forest stand physiology and biomass production, and is essential within ecosystem modeling. There are two common approaches to obtaining LAI: (i) terrestrial forest inventory-based “bottom–up”, and (ii) satellite-
