Enhancement of the Nighttime Ocean Cool Skin Effect by Natural Surfactants

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The ocean interface brightness temperature is sensitive to the biologic activity reflected by the chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chla) in the upper layers of the oceans. This is shown using sea surface skin temperatures Tskin retrieved from spectra recorded by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer and collocated measurements of bulk ...

Aerosol Retrieval Over Ocean From DPC‐2/GF‐5(02): Using RemoTAP Extended With a 3‐Parameter Ocean Bio‐Optical Model and Comparisons With a 1‐Parameter Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Multi‐angle polarimetric instruments (MAPs) enable the retrieval of essential aerosol properties over oceanic regions. MAPs retrieval algorithms commonly use a 1‐parameter ocean bio‐optical model (OBM), based on chlorophyll‐a concentration only to represent optical properties over open waters (case‐1), whereas the coastal water (mixture of ...

Sensitivity of VIIRS Polarization Measurements [PDF]

, 2010
The design of an optical system typically involves a sensitivity analysis where the various lens parameters, such as lens spacing and curvatures, to name two parameters, are (slightly) varied to see what, if any, effect this has on the performance and to

Aqueous‐Phase Processing of Organic Aerosols at the Southern Great Plains: Insights From Integrated Chemical and Microphysical Analyses

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Aqueous‐phase reactions are hypothesized to be a major pathway for secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in humid, cloud‐influenced environments, yet direct observational constraints remain limited. Here we investigated aqueous SOA (aqSOA) formation and evolution during the spring 2016 Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and

Surface Chlorophyll‐a Trends in the Mediterranean Sea: Seasonal Bloom Dynamics and Drivers

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a) is the most widely used proxy for phytoplankton biomass, bloom intensity, and trophic status in marine ecosystems. We analyzed 27 years (1998–2024) of 1 km‐resolution satellite‐derived Chl‐a data across the Mediterranean Sea and evaluated long‐term trends, bloom phenology, and seasonal variability in relation to sea ...
