Rapid Ocean Warming Drives Sexually Divergent Habitat Use in a Threatened Predatory Marine Ectotherm. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
How ectothermic, mobile marine predators are responding to climate change is uncertain due to lack of species‐specific data, which can mask the true impact of this threat. We investigate the impact of environmental conditions and thermal extremes on the behavior and distribution of angelsharks, a highly threatened elasmobranch of global conservation ...

Seeing the Disturbed Forest for the Trees: Remote Sensing Is Underutilized to Quantify Critical Zone Response to Unprecedented Disturbance

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding the severity and extent of near surface critical zone (CZ) disturbances and their ecosystem response is a pressing concern in the face of increasing human and natural disturbances. Predicting disturbance severity and recovery in a changing climate requires comprehensive understanding of ecosystem feedbacks among vegetation and ...

Greenhouse Warming Weakens the Seasonal Cycle of the Eastern Boundary Upwelling

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 11, 16 June 2023., 2023
Abstract The response of upwelling in the eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUSs) to anthropogenic climate change has attracted much scientific attention due to its core role in nourishing marine ecosystems. A decade‐old hypothesis suggests that greenhouse warming may intensify upwelling‐favorable winds and subsequently the upwelling in EBUSs, but ...

Validation of the CFOSAT Scatterometer Data With Buoy Observations and Tests of Operational Application to Extreme Weather Forecasts in Taiwan Strait

Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The China‐France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT) launched in 2018 is equipped with the Chinese Scatterometer (CSCAT), which is designed to measure high‐precision sea surface wind fields in the global ocean. This study aims to validate the CFOSAT wind fields with moored buoy‐measured ground truth data from August 2019 to July 2021.

No place to hide: Rare plant detection through remote sensing

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 948-961, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Detection of rare species is limited by their intrinsic nature and by the constraints associated with traditional field surveys. Remote sensing (RS) provides a powerful alternative to traditional detection methods through the increasing availability of RS products.

Climatology, variability, and trends in near‐surface wind speeds over the North Atlantic and Europe during 1979–2018 based on ERA5

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 2253-2278, 30 March 2021., 2021
The 40‐year wind speed climate in ERA5 has the strongest winds and highest variability co‐located with the storm track in the North Atlantic and central Europe and with local wind phenomena in the Mediterranean and near Greenland. There are no linear wind speed trends and the annual and decadal variability is large. The decadal wind changes are related

A wavelet melt detection algorithm applied to enhanced-resolution scatterometer data over Antarctica (2000–2009) [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
Melting is mapped over Antarctica at a high spatial resolution using a novel melt detection algorithm based on wavelets and multiscale analysis. The method is applied to Ku-band (13.4 GHz) normalized backscattering measured by SeaWinds onboard the ...

A Novel Integrated Algorithm for Wind Vector Retrieval from Conically Scanning Scatterometers

Remote Sensing, 2013
Due to the lower efficiency and the larger wind direction error of traditional algorithms, a novel integrated wind retrieval algorithm is proposed for conically scanning scatterometers. The proposed algorithm has the dual advantages of less computational
