Inside the Fire Plume Chemical Interactions: A Review on Key Processes and Future Directions
Abstract Fire plumes are rising columns of heated air masses, consisting of gaseous and particulate matter generated by combustion, affecting air quality, climate and public health. The chemical species released undergo secondary reactions and participate in chemical and physical interactions, altering the properties of the fire plume.

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for Monitoring Seasonal Snow
Abstract Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) offers a potential pathway for measuring seasonal snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth at spatial and temporal scales needed for basin‐scale hydrology. First proposed for seasonal snow more than 25 years ago, InSAR uses repeat‐pass radar phase differences to estimate changes in SWE or ...

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

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

Fire INventory from NCAR (FINN) v2.5(MODIS+VIIRS), MOZART VOC speciation
The Fire INventory from NCAR (FINN) provides daily global fire emissions at high spatial resolution. The FINN model uses satellite detection of active fires (thermal anomalies) and the land cover type to determine the emission estimates.

Derivation of a MODIS-compatible enhanced vegetation index from visible infrared imaging radiometer suite spectral reflectances using vegetation isoline equations [PDF]
We developed a unique methodology that spectrally translates the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) across sensors for data continuity based on vegetation isoline equations and derived a moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)-compatible EVI ...
