A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

Vertical Coherence Dominates Decadal Land Water Storage Change Despite Hydroclimatic Extremes and Groundwater Pumping

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Whether surface and deeper water storage trends move in the same direction underpins assessments of freshwater availability. Theory predicts vertical coherence, yet it is untested globally and questioned under climate extremes and human management. Using depth‐sensitive satellite observations spanning surface soil moisture (SSM) (Soil Moisture

Increasing artificial light at night enhances salmonid predator foraging efficiency in an urbanized lake

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses a threat to ecosystems globally. It includes both direct and indirect light, or skyglow, which occurs when ALAN scatters in the atmosphere, extending beyond its original source. We analyzed ALAN trends in Lake Washington, WA, from 2014 to 2023 using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS ...

Utilization of the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band for Arctic Ship Tracking and Fisheries Management [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2015
Maritime ships operating on-board illumination at night appear as point sources of light to highly sensitive low-light imagers on-board environmental satellites. Unlike city lights or lights from offshore gas platforms, whose locations remain stationary from one night to the next, lights from ships typically are ephemeral.

Localization and Classification of Gravity Wave Events From VIIRS Day/Night Band Satellite Imagery Using Machine Learning Techniques

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Gravity waves in the upper mesosphere produce diverse spatial patterns in nighttime airglow, but their global morphology has been difficult to characterize because manual identification is impractical for the massive satellite image archive. We developed a machine learning framework to detect and classify gravity wave events in imagery from ...

Atmospheric Correction of GOCI Using Quasi-Synchronous VIIRS Data in Highly Turbid Coastal Waters

Remote Sensing, 2019
The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) sensor, with high temporal and spatial resolution (eight images per day at an interval of 1 hour, 500 m), is the world’s first geostationary ocean color satellite sensor. GOCI provides good data for ocean

Analysis of Smoke Transport Over the Northeast US Caused by Wildfires in Canada During June 2023—Leveraging the HRRR‐Smoke Model Predictions and Remote Sensing Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The intensification of wildland fires across portions of Canada in early June 2023 led to significant smoke transport into the eastern United States, resulting in poor air quality and reduced visibility. Significant degradation of air quality was evident from PM2.5 surface measurements as the smoke plume moved southwards, which was confirmed ...
