Satellite microwave observations of the Utah Great Salt Lake Desert [PDF]
Microwave data acquired over the Great Salt Lake Desert by sensors aboard Skylab and Nimbus 5 indicate that microwave emission and backscatter were strongly influenced by contributions from subsurface layers of sediment saturated with brine.

Causal Directions Matter: How Environmental Factors Drive Convective Cloud Detrainment Heights
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.Abstract This study investigates how environmental factors influence the level of maximum detrainment (LMD) in deep convective clouds. Through a novel application of the Linear Non‐Gaussian Acyclic Model (LiNGAM), we discover causal structures between environmental variables and LMD, observed at six tropical sites operated by the Atmospheric Radiation ...

STARNet: A Deep‐Learning Algorithm for Surface Shortwave Radiation Retrieval From Fengyun‐4A
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.Abstract Satellite‐retrieved surface shortwave radiation is indispensable to solar energy meteorology applications. In stark contrast to conventional irradiance retrieval algorithms that are confined to individual pixel information, this work proposes the STARNet (Spatio‐Temporal Association‐based Retrieval Network), which is a deep‐learning algorithm ...

Gas filter correlation radiometry: Report of panel [PDF]
To measure the concentration of a gas in the troposphere, the gas filter radiometer correlates the pattern of the spectral lines of a sample of gas contained within the instrument with the pattern of the spectral lines in the upwelling radiation.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.Abstract Accurate cloud motion vector retrieval in multi‐layer clouds faces persistent challenges due to ambiguous height assignment. We developed a novel overlapped cloud motion vectors (OCMVs) retrieval method using Himawari‐8 observations. Multi‐layer cloud top heights (CTHs) were retrieved based on multi‐spectral radiance using neural networks and ...

Software to Enable Ocean Discoveries: A Case Study With ICESat‐2 and Argo
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 12, Issue 3, July 2025.ABSTRACT Increased anthropogenic stressors (e.g., warming, acidification, wildfires, and other extreme events) present complex observational challenges for Earth science, and no one sensor can “do it all”. While many remote sensing technologies are available at present, scientific disciplines are often trained to use only a specific subset, greatly ...
