An Observational and Forecast Study of Super Typhoon Fung‐Wong in 2025 Over the South China Sea

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Super Typhoon Fung‐wong took an unusual track over the western North Pacific and the northeastern part of the South China Sea in the late typhoon season of 2025. This paper summarizes some integrated observations about this super typhoon, including aircraft, dropsonde and wind profiler data.

Scatterometer resolution enhancement [PDF]

IGARSS '98. Sensing and Managing the Environment. 1998 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Symposium Proceedings. (Cat. No.98CH36174), 1998
Scatterometers can be effective for large scale monitoring of the Earth's surface. However, their low resolution can limit the utility of the data. Thus, there is interest in resolution enhancement methods that can create high resolution imagery from scatterometer measurements.

Seasonal Patterns of the Caribbean Current and Its Influence on the Small Island of Curaçao

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Large‐scale ocean currents exhibit spatial and temporal variability that can influence local circulation patterns, particularly around small islands. Two distinct flow regimes were previously identified around the southern Caribbean island of Curaçao: (a) strong northwestward flow, and (b) cyclonic eddies or low‐energy conditions ...

THE SCATTEROMETER AS A PRESSURE SENSOR

Gayana, 2004
The UW Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) model is used to derive surface pressure fields from scatterometer surface measurements. After a decade of comparison with NMC wind products, it is clear that the combination of the scatterometer and the PBL model ...

Impact of Ocean Currents on Wind Stress in the Tropical Indian Ocean

Remote Sensing, 2022
This study examines the effect of surface currents on the bulk algorithm calculation ofwind stress estimated using the scatterometer data during 2007–2020 in the Indian Ocean. In the study region as a whole, the wind stress decreased by 5.4% by including

Tracking Water Dynamics of a Temperate Forest Under Drought and Non‐Drought Conditions Using Active and Passive Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Water status, water dynamics, and ecohydrological resilience of a protected German beech forest during the 2018–2020 multi‐year drought are assessed using over six years of multi‐frequency remote sensing data, integrating active, passive, and optical sensors with varying canopy penetration depths, highlighting the importance of monitoring ...

An Grided Soil Moisture Profile Data Set Based on an Optimal Land Surface Model With Measured Hydraulic Parameters and Data Assimilation Over the Loess Plateau

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture (SM) is a key water source for vegetation, directly determining the success of revegetation efforts in water‐limited regions. However, accurate profile SM data remain lacking for the Chinese Loess Plateau (LP), limiting ecological restoration efforts.

SWIM: The First Spaceborne Wave Scatterometer [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2017
This paper provides an overview of the surface waves investigation and monitoring (SWIM) instrument which will be one of the two payload instruments carried by China France Oceanography SATellite (CFOSAT) with a planned launch date in mid-2018. SWIM is a real aperture wave scatterometer operated at near-nadir incidence angles and dedicated to the ...
