Uncertainties in classification system conversion and an analysis of inconsistencies in global land cover products [PDF]
, 2017 In this study, using the common classification systems of IGBP-17, IGBP-9, IPCC-5 and TC (vegetation, wetlands and others only), we studied spatial and areal inconsistencies in the three most recent multi-resource land cover products in a complex ...

Sensitivity of Tropical Cyclone Forecasts to the Loss of Low Earth Orbit Satellite Observations
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Tropical cyclones are among the most destructive natural hazards, impacting millions of people worldwide each year. Accurate and timely forecasts are therefore essential for effective preparedness and risk mitigation. Forecast skill depends on both the performance of numerical weather prediction models and the observations assimilated into the

A Full Snow Season in Yellowstone: A Database of Restored Aqua Band 6 [PDF]
The algorithms for estimating snow extent for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) optimally use the 1.6- m channel which is unavailable for MODIS on Aqua due to detector damage.

Fingerprint of rice paddies in spatial-temporal dynamics of atmospheric methane concentration in monsoon Asia. [PDF]
, 2020 Agriculture (e.g., rice paddies) has been considered one of the main emission sources responsible for the sudden rise of atmospheric methane concentration (XCH4) since 2007, but remains debated.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We developed a cloud model–based framework integrating multisource remote sensing data to quantify the climate change sensitivity of the upper limit of montane deciduous broad‐leaved forests (ULMDBs) across the Northern Hemisphere. Results reveal strong regional differences, with temperature dominating ULMDB sensitivity in humid regions and ...

Snow-Covered Area Retrieval from Himawari–8 AHI Imagery of the Tibetan Plateau
Remote Sensing, 2019 Daily snow-covered area retrieval using the imagery in solar reflective bands often encounters extensive data gaps caused by cloud obscuration. With the inception of geostationary satellites carrying advanced multispectral imagers of high temporal ...
