A new approach to estimate ice dynamic rates using satellite observations in East Antarctica [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2017
Mass balance changes of the Antarctic ice sheet are of significant interest due to its sensitivity to climatic changes and its contribution to changes in global sea level. While regional climate models successfully estimate mass input due to snowfall,

Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).

A Weighted Image-Point-Measurement Method of Laser Altimetry Points for Improving Laser-Altimetry-Data-Assisted Positioning Accuracy of Small-Satellite Images

Remote Sensing
For small-satellite imagery, traditional image points derived from the direct back-projection of laser altimetry points onto the imagery often exhibit deviations of tens of pixels or more, owing to the relatively limited attitude and orbit determination ...

Sea level accelerations at globally distributed tide gauge stations during the satellite altimetry era

Journal of Geodetic Science, 2018
This observational study reports that several globally distributed tide gauge stations exhibit a propensity of statistically significant sea level accelerations during the satellite altimetry era.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Observing and Modelling the HighWater Level from Satellite Radar Altimetry During Tropical Cyclones

, 2015
This paper investigates the capability of observing tropical cyclones using satellite radar altimetry. Two representative cyclones Yasi (February 2011) and Larry (March 2006) in the northeast Australian coastal area are selected based also on available ...

ALTIMETRY BY CASSINI RADAR: PROCESSING AND SIMULATION [PDF]

, 2009
The Cassini mission, that is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI effort, has recently offered the unique possibility of exploring Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, that is the only satellite in the solar system to host an appreciable atmosphere, which unfortunately ...

A first approach towards dual-hemisphere sea ice reference measurements from multiple data sources repurposed for evaluation and product intercomparison of satellite altimetry [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Sea ice altimetry currently remains the primary method for estimating sea ice thickness from space, however, time series of such satellite-derived estimates are of limited use without having been quality-controlled against reference measurements.

Divergent Influences of Oceanic Western Boundary Currents on Weak and Strong Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Northern Hemisphere often cross oceanic western boundary currents (WBCs), yet how these warm currents modulate TC intensity remains unclear. We analyze TCs traversing the Kuroshio and Gulf Stream during 1993–2025 and find that weak TCs respond more favorably than strong TCs.

How Well Can the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Satellite Mission Observe Irrigation Canals?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The capability of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite for observing irrigation canals has remained relatively unexplored. Here, we assess SWOT observability of irrigation canal networks across 22 Asian countries using a new confidence level (CL) metric.
