Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 6, November/December 2025.In this study, we explore solutions for reducing the effects of station network geographical inhomogeneities on spatially aggregated verification scores, for operational verification practices. A weighting procedure based on Gaussian kernels, where the weights are inversely proportional to the network density around each station, is proposed.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.Abstract The Badain Jaran Desert hosts the world's tallest mega‐dunes, but its long‐term sand sources remain poorly constrained, limiting insights into its evolutionary mechanisms. Geochemical fingerprints of multiple grain‐size fractions from a centrally located borehole yielded a ∼1.2 Ma provenance record: early sediments derived mainly from the ...

Spatiotemporal fusion for crop model assimilation: Linfen Basin case study, Chinese Loess Plateau
Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract Spatiotemporal fusion addresses challenges in crop growth monitoring: namely, spatial discreteness of high‐resolution imagery and spectral mixing in high‐temporal‐frequency data. These can hinder accurate yield and phenology estimates, especially in fragmented semi‐arid landscapes.
