Measurement of blooming effect of DMSP-OLS nighttime light data based on NPP-VIIRS data

Annals of GIS, 2019
Nighttime light (NTL) imagery offers important data for socio-economic research since it depicts human activities at night. Blooming effect is one of the main problems of DMSP-OLS NTL data, but the problem has been largely mitigated in NPP-VIIRS data ...

Direct Assimilation of Satellite Visible and Near‐Infrared Radiances to Improve Aerosol Simulations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Existing satellite‐based aerosol data assimilation approaches mostly rely on assimilating retrieved aerosol products, which suffer from inconsistencies between retrieval assumptions and model representations, as well as uncertainties in the retrieved aerosol parameters.

Snow What? Strengths and Limitations of Different Snow Products in Western U.S. Mountains

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Reported values of average annual peak snow water equivalent (SWE) in the mountains of the western United States differ by more than a factor of five, from not enough water to fill Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the region, to enough water to fill Lake Mead five times. These products are not created equal.

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1134-1150, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

Climatic and Hydrological Changes Drive Contemporary Fire Regime Transitions in the World's Largest Wetland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐term fire data (1985–2024) and integrated modeling reveal a climate and hydrology‐driven transition toward larger fires, increased burned area, and a longer fire season, indicating the emergence of a new fire regime in the Pantanal. ABSTRACT Tropical wetlands have historically been resilient to fire, but ongoing climate and hydrological changes ...
