Abstract The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) collects thermal observations from the International Space Station to support evapotranspiration (ET) research at fine spatial resolutions (70 m × 70 m). Initial ET from ECOSTRESS Collection 1 was used in scientific research and applications, though subsequent ...

ABSTRACT Aim Although mosquitoes can have innate preferences for particular blood‐meal hosts, their realised feeding patterns on different host species can be modified under climate and land use change with implications for disease spread. Therefore, it is important to understand the niche breadth of vectors and the extent to which shifts in feeding ...

CloudDiff: Super-resolution ensemble retrieval of cloud properties for all day using the generative diffusion model [PDF]
Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's water and energy cycles, underscoring the importance of high spatiotemporal resolution data on cloud phase and properties for accurate numerical modeling and weather prediction. Currently, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) provides cloud products with a spatial resolution of 1 km.

ABSTRACT 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 observation of surface water extents with optical satellite imagery.

Culicoides insignis, Culicoides stellifer and Culicoides venustus are suspected Bluetongue Virus vectors in the United States and could potentially influence the transmission of Bluetongue Virus to ruminant livestock. Habitat suitability models predicted suitable habitat for C. insignis in Florida and along the coast, C.

Satellite‐Derived Productivity Outputs for Land Degradation Assessment Vary With Biome and Rainfall
ABSTRACT Estimates of the extent of land degradation vary dramatically. To quantify the extent and location of land degradation globally, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) asks member countries to report on land degradation every four years, providing crucial baseline and change data.

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-

Reduced ERA‐I Forecasting Skill During Forbush Decreases
Abstract Correlations between week‐long cosmic ray flux perturbations and terrestrial cloud cover have previously been identified. Still, uncertainty persists on whether the cloud response is due to a physical link involving cosmic rays or caused by random weather fluctuations.

Abstract The upper reaches of the Yangtze River observed record‐breaking droughts, heatwaves, and forest fires in rapid sequence during the 2022 summer, challenging the established mechanistic understanding. We here explained the compound event through a trans‐seasonal vegetation‐land‐atmosphere interacting perspective. The wetter spring‐sunnier summer
