A model sensitivity study of the impact of clouds on satellite detection and retrieval of volcanic ash [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 Volcanic ash is commonly observed by infrared detectors on board Earth-orbiting satellites. In the presence of ice and/or liquid-water clouds, the detected volcanic ash signature may be altered.

Modeling Envisat RA-2 waveforms in the coastal zone: case-study of calm water contamination [PDF]
, 2010 Radar altimeters have so far had limited use in the coastal zone, the area with most societal impact. This is due to both lack of, or insufficient accuracy in the necessary corrections, and more complicated altimeter signals. This paper examines waveform

Potential of high-resolution detection and retrieval of precipitation fields from X-band spaceborne synthetic aperture radar over land [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011 X-band Synthetic Aperture Radars (X-SARs), able to image the Earth's surface at metric resolution, may provide a unique opportunity to measure rainfall over land with spatial resolution of about few hundred meters, due to the atmospheric moving-target ...

Modeling the effect of glacier recession on streamflow response using a coupled glacio-hydrological model [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 We describe an integrated spatially distributed hydrologic and glacier dynamic model, and use it to investigate the effect of glacier recession on streamflow variations for the upper Bow River basin, a tributary of the South Saskatchewan River, Alberta ...

Dynamic Retrieval of Olive Tree Properties Using Bayesian Model and Sentinel-2 Images
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 The goal of this study is to provide a fine detection and monitoring of olive orchard trees over large areas to anticipate any damage. We developed an original method to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of biophysical parameters in the olive orchards ...

Variations of the 630.0 nm airglow emission with meridional neutral wind and neutral temperature around midnight [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 The ISUAL payload onboard the FORMOSAT-2 satellite has often observed airglow bright spots around midnight at equatorial latitudes. Such features had been suggested as the signature of the thermospheric midnight temperature maximum (MTM) effect, which
