Land Cover Types and Their Effect on the Urban Heat Signature of University Campuses using Remote Sensing [PDF]
The campus, as an educational area, has a variety of land cover with varying surface temperatures. Knowledge of land use in a localized urban environment and its effect on the Urban Heat Signature (UHS) of a university campus is insufficient, so it is ...

Studying the Aerosol Effect on Deep Convective Clouds over the Global Oceans by Applying Machine Learning Techniques on Long-Term Satellite Observation [PDF]
Long-term (1982–2019) satellite climate data records (CDRs) of aerosols and clouds, reanalysis data of meteorological fields, and machine learning techniques are used to study the aerosol effect on deep convective clouds (DCCs) over the global oceans ...

Investigation of GPS draconitic year effect on GPS time series of eliminated eclipsing GPS satellite data [PDF]
GPS draconitic signal (351.6 ± 0.2 days) and its higher harmonics are observed at almost all IGS products such as position time series of IGS permanent stations. Orbital error and multipath are known as two possible sources of these signals.

Restoring the top-of-atmosphere reflectance during solar eclipses: a proof of concept with the UV absorbing aerosol index measured by TROPOMI [PDF]
During a solar eclipse the solar irradiance reaching the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is reduced in the Moon shadow. The solar irradiance is commonly measured by Earth observation satellites before the start of the solar eclipse and is not corrected for ...

Analyzing signatures of aerosol‐cloud interactions from satellite retrievals and the GISS GCM to constrain the aerosol indirect effect [PDF]
Evidence of aerosol‐cloud interactions is evaluated using satellite data from MODIS, CERES, and AMSR‐E; reanalysis data from NCEP; and data from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies climate model. We evaluate a series of model simulations: (1) Exp N, aerosol direct radiative effects; (2) Exp C, like Exp N but with aerosol effects on liquid ...

Evidence of horizontal and vertical transport of water in the Southern Hemisphere tropical tropopause layer (TTL) from high-resolution balloon observations [PDF]
High-resolution in situ balloon measurements of water vapour, aerosol, methane and temperature in the upper tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and lower stratosphere are used to evaluate the processes affecting the stratospheric water budget: horizontal

VLF, magnetic bay and Pi2 substorm signatures at auroral and midlatitude ground stations [PDF]
A superposed epoch analysis of 100–300 substorms is performed to determine the median size and shape of the substorm-associated VLF chorus, magnetic bay, and Pi2 pulsation burst observed at the near-auroral Halley research station, Antarctica, and at the

Regional nitrogen oxides emission trends in East Asia observed from space [PDF]
Due to changing economic activity, emissions of air pollutants in East Asia are changing rapidly in space and time. Monthly emission estimates of nitrogen oxides derived from satellite observations provide valuable insight into the evolution of ...

Coordinated Cluster, ground-based instrumentation and low-altitude satellite observations of transient poleward-moving events in the ionosphere and in the tail lobe [PDF]
During the interval between 8:00–9:30 on 14 January 2001, the four Cluster spacecraft were moving from the central magnetospheric lobe, through the dusk sector mantle, on their way towards intersecting the magnetopause near 15:00 MLT and 15:00 UT ...
