Revisiting Trends in Greenland Ice Sheet Albedo Using the Combined MODIS and VIIRS Record
Abstract The MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments onboard NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites have been used to monitor trends in Greenland Ice Sheet albedo for over two decades. These satellites, however, are nearing the end of their productive lifetimes meaning that continued investigation of ice sheet albedo trends will ...

Generating global products of LAI and FPAR from SNPP-VIIRS data: theoretical background and implementation [PDF]
Leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) absorbed by vegetation have been successfully generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data since early 2000. As the Visible Infrared Imaging

Abstract We produced global 0.25° three‐dimensional distribution of horizontal wind vectors (or 3D winds) by tracking water vapor from the hyperspectral infrared sounders and microwave sounders aboard two polar satellites (NOAA‐20 and Suomi‐NPP) that have overlapping tracks with time separation of 50 min.

This study investigated the anti‐inflammatory effects of 21α‐methylmelianol (MMN), a tirucallane triterpenoid isolated from Melia azedarach, in lipopolysaccharide‐ stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages in vitro, and in a dextran sodium sulfate‐induced ulcerative murine colitis model in vivo. ABSTRACT Melia azedarach L., also known as the chinaberry tree, has

Abstract Ocean color‐based estimates of Antarctic net primary productivity (NPP) have indicated low nearshore productivity in ice‐adjacent waters, contrasting with coupled physical–biogeochemical models. To understand this discrepancy, we assessed satellite records of polynya NPP by comparing field data with two satellite imagery datasets derived using

Geography of Phytomass, Net Primary and Specific Primary Production of Larch Forests Within Eurasia [PDF]
Statistically significant transcontinental changes of biomass, net primary production (NPP) and specific primary production (SNPP) of all wood fractions and understory layer of larch forests on the territory from the United Kingdom to the Japan and South

A Fire‐Driven Shift in Canadian Air Quality Concerns Mirrors Trends in the US
Abstract The summer of 2023 was the most significant wildfire and smoke season on record in Canada. Data from five different satellite instruments going back to 2001 show that Canada and most provinces and territories experienced peak visible‐wavelength aerosol optical depth and ultraviolet aerosol index values in 2023.

Limited Long‐Term Photolysis of Stratospheric Organic Aerosols With Implications for CESM Modeling
Abstract Organic aerosol (OA) is an important constituent of the Earth's atmosphere, yet the extent of its destruction by photolysis remains an active research question. Recent laboratory studies reveal evidence for rapid short‐term photolysis for secondary OA, but the rate declines to negligible levels over time.
