4DVarNet-SSH: end-to-end learning of variational interpolation schemes for nadir and wide-swath satellite altimetry [PDF]
The reconstruction of sea surface currents from satellite altimeter data is a key challenge in spatial oceanography, especially with the upcoming wide-swath SWOT (Surface Ocean and Water Topography) altimeter mission. Operational systems however generally fail to retrieve mesoscale dynamics for horizontal scales below 100km and time-scale below 10 days.

ABSTRACT River dolphins are the least studied and most threatened cetaceans. Anthropogenic activities, including habitat fragmentation, pollution, and declining fish stocks, pose significant challenges to their survival. This study evaluated the effects of landscape changes resulting from human activity on the encounter rates of the putative species of

Uncertain Flow Visualization using LIC [PDF]
In this paper we look at the Line Integral Convolution method for flow visualization and ways in which this can be applied to the visualization of two dimensional, steady flow fields in the presence of uncertainty. To achieve this, we start by studying

Balancing agriculture and environment: Andrew Sharpley's nutrient, soil, and water management legacy
Abstract Managing agricultural phosphorus (P) to balance food security and water quality priorities is a massive challenge fraught with uncertainty and competing interests. Throughout his career, Andrew Sharpley addressed this challenge by building our understanding of the fundamental principles and processes that control P behavior in agricultural ...

Improvements of the Discrete Dipole Approximation method [PDF]
The discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) is a flexible technique for computing scattering and absorption by targets of arbitrary geometry. In this paper we perform systematic study of various non-stationary iterative (conjugate gradient) methods in search for the most efficient one in order to solve the system of equations arising in DDA.

Through the lens of phosphorus: The legacy of Andrew Sharpley
Abstract The pursuit of sustainable phosphorus (P) management represents a long‐standing challenge in agricultural arenas, with far‐reaching implications for the environment and societal development. Few scholars are as synonymous with P science as Andrew Sharpley.

The GNSS-R Eddy Experiment II: L-band and Optical Speculometry for Directional Sea-Roughness Retrieval from Low Altitude Aircraft [PDF]
We report on the retrieval of directional sea-roughness (the full directional mean square slope, including MSS, direction and isotropy) through inversion of Global Navigation Satellite System Reflections (GNSS-R) and SOlar REflectance Speculometry (SORES)data collected during an experimental flight at 1000 m.

PARFAIT: GNSS-R coastal altimetry [PDF]
GNSS-R signals contain a coherent and an incoherent component. A new algorithm for coherent phase altimetry over rough ocean surfaces, called PARFAIT, has been developed and implemented in Starlab's STARLIGHT GNSS-R software package. In this paper we report our extraction and analysis of the coherent component of L1 GPS-R signals collected during the ...
