Assessment of the Suomi NPP VIIRS Land Surface Albedo Data Using Station Measurements and High-Resolution Albedo Maps

Remote Sensing, 2016
Land surface albedo (LSA), one of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) environmental data records (EDRs), is a fundamental component for linking the land surface and the climate system by regulating shortwave energy exchange between the ...

Transport of Peroxyacyl Nitrates (PANs) Across Northern Hemisphere Ocean Basins From Satellite Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We leverage global satellite observations of Peroxyacyl Nitrates (PANs) from the Cross‐track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) on the Suomi National Polar‐orbiting Partnership satellite to evaluate seasonal and interannual variations of intercontinental transport in the Northern Hemisphere between 2016 and 2022.

Observation of Mountain Waves and Secondary Gravity Waves in the Mesosphere Lower Thermosphere Above Patagonia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We find observational evidence for mountain waves (MWs) and secondary gravity waves (2GWs) in the OH*(3‐1) layer above Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. On the night of 21–22 May 2018, the Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) obtained temperatures at ∼84 ${\sim} 84$ km.

Monte Carlo Simulation of 3D Cloud Radiance Distributions Affected by Ground‐Based Lighting

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Satellite observations of artificial light sources at night are increasing. Clouds, as the most important radiative modulators in the Earth‐atmosphere system, significantly influence the observed values and spatial distribution of the artificial light coming from the ground.

Sentinel‐5p Reveals Unexplained Large Wildfire Carbon Emissions in the Amazon in 2024

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract In 2024, the Amazon region experienced severe wildfires driven by exceptional drought conditions. Advanced fire emission models estimated Amazon carbon monoxide (CO) emissions between 28 and 62 Tg during the main August‐September Amazon fire season. The majority of the 2024 CO emissions came from (understorey) forest fires, unlike the previous

Improved VIIRS and MODIS SST Imagery [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2016
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) radiometers, flown onboard Terra/Aqua and Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP)/Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellites, are capable of providing superior sea surface temperature (SST) imagery. However, the swath data of these

Coyote Range Expansion in the Human‐Modified Tropics of Mesoamerica

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Coyotes have expanded their range into southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, increasingly occupying human‐modified landscapes. This expansion is ongoing, with rising detection rates over time and records in both disturbed and forested environments, highlighting a paradox where anthropogenic change enables native carnivore expansion.

Using the environmental light field method for measuring biologically relevant light characteristics at the household scale

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The regular variations of light in the natural light cycle serve as one of the most important cues for the timing of biological events in organisms. The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) alters the natural light cycle and has been found to have harmful effects on human, wildlife, and environmental health.
