Modeling the Lunar Thermal Emission Phase Function With the Diviner Lunar Radiometer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The lunar thermal emission phase function (EPF) describes the anisotropic variation in observed infrared emission and brightness temperature with illumination and viewing geometry. The EPF is caused by small‐scale surface roughness below the resolution of current orbital data sets.

A Software Tool for ICESat and ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry Data Processing, Analysis, and Visualization: Description, Features, and Usage

Software
This paper presents a web-based software tool designed to process, analyze, and visualize satellite laser altimetry data, specifically from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) mission, which collected data from 2003 to 2009, and ICESat ...

Influx of Bay of Bengal Waters and Stirring Trends in the Arabian Sea Based on Satellite Altimetry

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Freshwater transport and stirring affect air–sea interactions in the Arabian Sea (AS). Using three decades of satellite‐based surface currents, this study examines (a) the volume influx of water masses into southeastern AS from the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and (b) horizontal stirring over seasonal to interannual timescales in the AS.

SWOT and Swath Altimetry: A Breakthrough for Global Ocean Prediction

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Since its launch in December 2022, the SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite with its KaRIn (Ka‐band interferometer) instrument has provided unprecedented, high‐resolution, two‐dimensional views of global Sea Surface Height (SSH), offering crucial insights into ocean dynamics.

Airborne Radar Reveals Area‐Wide Decadal Increase of Surface Mass Balance on the Plateau in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Projections of Antarctica's sea‐level contribution depend on future changes in surface mass balance (SMB), yet it remains uncertain whether climate change has already impacted SMB on the East Antarctic Plateau, given diverging trends in prior studies.

Backwater Effects From River Ice Jams Observed With SWOT Pixel Cloud Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract This study examines the backwater effects from ice jams in Arctic rivers using the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. Ice jams occur when chunks of ice accumulate and obstruct the river flow, causing rapid water level rises and flooding.

Validation of 1‐Day Repeat SWOT Measurements Against Tide‐Gauge and Glider Data Off Canada's West Coast

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite observations are shown to agree well with tide gauge and underwater glider data in the Northeast Pacific. The SWOT mission measures sea surface height in a 120‐km wide swath. It had a 1‐day repeat cycle for 3 months in 2023.

Coherent water transport across the South Atlantic

, 2015
The role of mesoscale eddies in transporting Agulhas leakage is investigated using a recent technique from nonlinear dynamical systems theory applied on geostrophic currents inferred from the over two-decade-long satellite altimetry record.
