Improvements of storm surge forecasting in the Gulf of Venice exploiting the potential of satellite data: the ESA DUE eSurge-Venice project

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Remote Sensing, 2017
The northern Adriatic Sea is affected by storm surges, which often cause the flooding in Venice and the surrounding areas. We present the results of the eSurge-Venice project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) in the framework of its Data User ...

Assessment of Spatiotemporal Variations in Wind Field Measurements by the Chinese FengYun-3E Wind Radar Scatterometer

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatiotemporal variations in wind field measurements obtained from the Chinese FengYun-3E (FY-3E) Wind Radar (WindRAD) scatterometer. To assess the performance of the wind field retrievals, we compare the FY-3E

Satellite radiance observation error inflation and spatial thinning: Reconciling idealized theory with near‐operational applications

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Satellite radiance observations are spatially thinned using a grid‐based selection that retains one representative profile per cell. When observation errors are spatially correlated but treated as uncorrelated in the assimilation system, reducing thinning increases their influence, leading to overfitting and reduced analysis fit with other observations.

Enhancement of the Nighttime Ocean Cool Skin Effect by Natural Surfactants

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The ocean interface brightness temperature is sensitive to the biologic activity reflected by the chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chla) in the upper layers of the oceans. This is shown using sea surface skin temperatures Tskin retrieved from spectra recorded by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer and collocated measurements of bulk ...

3D Atmospheric Imprint of Mesoscale Eddies Driven by the Thermal Feedback in the Gulf Stream Region

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The 3D imprint of mesoscale ocean eddies on the overlying atmosphere is investigated using coupled ocean‐atmosphere high‐resolution simulation of the Gulf Stream region, distinguishing cyclones and anticyclones. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies are predominantly warm for anticyclones and cold for cyclones, driving a Thermal Feedback ...
