Identification of Polycentric Cities in China Based on NPP-VIIRS Nighttime Light Data [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2020
Nighttime light data play an important role in the research on cities, while the urban centers over a large spatial scale are still far from clearly understood. Aiming at the current challenges in monitoring the spatial structure of cities using nighttime light data, this paper proposes a new method for identifying urban centers for massive cities at ...

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
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

Assessing the performance of MODIS and VIIRS active fire products in the monitoring of wildfires: a case study in Turkey

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2022
MODIS and VIIRS fire products have been widely used to detect and monitor fire activity at a global scale, as they provide highly relevant information on fire events, on their spatial and seasonal trends.

Vertical Coherence Dominates Decadal Land Water Storage Change Despite Hydroclimatic Extremes and Groundwater Pumping

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Whether surface and deeper water storage trends move in the same direction underpins assessments of freshwater availability. Theory predicts vertical coherence, yet it is untested globally and questioned under climate extremes and human management. Using depth‐sensitive satellite observations spanning surface soil moisture (SSM) (Soil Moisture

Quality Assessment of S-NPP VIIRS Land Surface Temperature Product

Remote Sensing, 2015
The VIIRS Land Surface Temperature (LST) Environmental Data Record (EDR) has reached validated (V1 stage) maturity in December 2014. This study compares VIIRS v1 LST with the ground in situ observations and with heritage LST product from MODIS Aqua and AATSR. Comparisons against U.S.

The Inter-Calibration of the DSCOVR EPIC Imager with Aqua-MODIS and NPP-VIIRS [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) through the earth polychromatic imaging camera (EPIC) continuously observes the illuminated disk from the Lagrange-1 point. The EPIC sensor was designed to monitor the diurnal variation of ozone, clouds, aerosols, and vegetation, especially those features that benefit from observation near-backscatter ...

How Well Is the Lake‐Land Breeze Circulation of Lake Victoria Captured in ECMWF Operational Analysis?

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lake‐breeze fronts (LBFs) strongly influence cloudiness, deep convection, and heavy rainfall around tropical lakes, yet their representation in global forecast systems remains uncertain. Using a newly developed objective detection algorithm, we evaluate LBF evolution and timing in ECMWF forecasts.

The ASTE‐BGC Data‐Assimilative Regional Ocean Biogeochemical Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a data‐assimilative regional ocean biogeochemical model, ASTE‐BGC, which simulates the physical and biogeochemical state of the North Atlantic Ocean from 2002 to 2017. Model physics are provided by a physical state estimate (ASTE), which assimilates O(109) in situ and satellite‐based observations over the model domain and time ...
