The use of a semi-empirical emissivity model for a rough estimation of sea surface salinity from an airborne microwave radiometer

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2008
In preparation for the European Space Agency SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) satellite mission, radiometric and oceanographic measurements were performed in December 2000 and January 2001 and in November 2001 from a fixed platform in the NW ...

Organizing the Next Generation: Youth Engagement with Activism Inside and Outside of Organizations

open access: yesSocial Media + Society, 2018
Social movement scholars have long considered organizations (social movement organizations [SMOs]) vital to the success of a movement. SMOs organize events, mobilize participants, and recruit new activists into the movement. In the case of youth activism,

A Triple Collocation-Based Comparison of Three L-Band Soil Moisture Datasets, SMAP, SMOS-IC, and SMOS, Over Varied Climates and Land Covers

open access: yesFrontiers in Water, 2021
Soil moisture plays an important role in the hydrologic water cycle. Relative to in-situ soil moisture measurements, remote sensing has been the only means of monitoring global scale soil moisture in near real-time over the past 40 years.

Modeling the Formation of Clouds in Brown Dwarf Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Because the opacity of clouds in substellar mass object (SMO) atmospheres depends on the composition and distribution of particle sizes within the cloud, a credible cloud model is essential for accurately modeling SMO spectra and colors. We present a one-
