Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Biomass‐burning smoke drives large uncertainty in climate projections of the Earth's radiative balance. This is due to the chemical and physical evolution of smoke and its impact on clouds and radiation. Here we focus on the southeastern Atlantic region and its inflow of African biomass‐burning smoke during August 2017.

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

Analysis of the heat sources detected by MODIS and VIIRS satellites in central western Amazonia
Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2020 Forest fires are characterized as environmental disasters and depending on its gravity they destroy the entire forests causing ecosystem losses. The quality of the detection of heat sources in the satellite is relevant to verify the sources of fires and

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
