Ocean Measurements from Space in 2025 [PDF]

Oceanography, 2010
Seasat, launched by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1977, was the first dedicated ocean-viewing satellite. Since then, in addition to NASA, the space agencies of Europe, France, Canada, Germany, India, Japan, and China have

Optimization of Land Pattern in Mining Area Based on the Improvement of Ecosystem Service Function—A Case Study of Fushun Mining Area

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

Evaluation of the Consistency between In Situ and Satellite Data for Sea Surface Monitoring at Continuous Tide Gauge Stations

Revista Brasileira de Cartografia
Satellite altimetry has revolutionized the monitoring of sea surface height (SSH) variations, enabling analyses of ocean dynamics and mean dynamic topography (MDT) at global and regional scales. This study investigates SSH variations using data from the

Establishing Monthly Benchmarks for Erosion Control and Vegetation Restoration Targets Across the Loess Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

On the fast response of the Southern Ocean to changes in the zonal wind [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2007
Model studies of the Southern Ocean, reported here, show that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current responds within two days to changes in the zonal wind stress at the latitudes of Drake Passage.

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

The archipelago-induced wakes and their impact on typhoon air-sea interactions in the northwestern South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
The topography of an archipelago can induce strong wakes in the surrounding ocean. However, the effects of these wakes on air-sea interactions during typhoons are often overlooked in numerical simulations. In this study, a high-resolution (~1 km) coupled

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

Statistical post‐processing of operational dual‐resolution wind‐speed ensemble forecasts

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The performance of raw and post‐processed 50‐member medium‐ and 100‐member extended‐range 10‐m wind‐speed forecasts of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts and their various dual‐resolution combinations is investigated. Results show that post‐processing improves skill and reduces the differences between the various configurations ...
