Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind
ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

An Evaluation of WRF‐Chem's Performance in Simulating PM2.5 in West African Cities
Abstract West Africa experiences some of the highest particulate pollution levels globally due to Saharan dust, biomass burning and urban emissions. Despite the severe health burden, air quality monitoring remains sparse. This study evaluates WRF‐Chem's performance in simulating PM2.5 levels across seven West African cities in 2021 using newly ...

The Arctic Boreal Burned Area (ABBA) Product
The Arctic Boreal Burned Area (ABBA) dataset improves wildfire mapping in high northern latitudes, capturing over 2 million km2 of burned area between 2002 and 2022 with 87.2% accuracy. Its enhanced detection of late‐season fires and reduced errors surpass global products, enabling better climate modelling and ecological impact assessments.

The Amazon River‐Breeze Circulation Limits Detection of Aerosol‐Cloud Interactions in Warm Clouds
Abstract Increased aerosol concentrations can brighten low‐level clouds and extend their lifetimes, but aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) remain highly uncertain and difficult to quantify. We show that part of this uncertainty is caused by topographical influences on clouds, that is, those arising from land–water contrasts.

A Rapid Cloud Mask Algorithm for Suomi NPP VIIRS Imagery EDRs [PDF]
Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) is the first of a new generation of NASA's Earth-observing research satellites. The Suomi NPP Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) collects visible and infrared views of Earth's dynamic ...

Abstract Rapid urbanization has historically been linked to escalating air pollution, yet the environmental consequences of urban shrinkage—a growing global trend of population decline and economic downturn—remain underexplored. While theory suggests shrinkage might alleviate pollution through reduced anthropogenic activities, empirical evidence on the

Crosstalk Effect in SNPP VIIRS
An investigation has been carried out to examine the crosstalk contamination in the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) spacecraft. Prior to this study, the cause of the pronounced striping in Earth View (EV) images and obvious discontinuity in the EV brightness temperature (BT)

Abstract Phytoplankton size classes (PSCs) and Phytoplankton functional types (PFTs) determine many fundamental biogeochemical processes including nutrient uptake, energy transfer through marine food webs, ocean carbon export, and gas exchange with the atmosphere. Discerning the causes of spatio‐temporal variability of PSCs is a scientific priority for

Global Spatial and Temporal Variability of the Oceanic Cool Skin Effect
Abstract The oceanic cool skin effect is characterized by a temperature depression between the ocean's submillimeter thermal skin layer (SSTskin) and the underlying water (SSTdepth). This study evaluates the ability of the widely used Fairall et al. (1996), https://doi.org/10.1029/95jc03190 model (F96) to simulate the cool skin effect using surface ...
