The European heatwave of 2018 led to record-breaking temperatures and extremely dry conditions in many parts of the continent, resulting in widespread decrease in agricultural yield, early tree-leaf senescence, and increase in forest fires in Norther...

Although a significant effort has been dedicated to studying changes in the mass budget of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), mechanisms behind these changes are not yet fully understood. In this study, we address this issue by investigating the link be...

The use of radar to monitor insect migration is of great significance for pest control and biological migration mechanism research. However, migrating insects usually have small radar-cross-section (RCS) and are accompanied by maneuvering. The curren...

In remote sensing applications, Optimal Estimation (OE) retrievals are sometimes compared to independent OE retrievals of the same process. This intercomparison is often done in instrument validation, where retrievals are compared with data from a se...

Compact Polarimetric (CP) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is expected to gain more and more ground for Earth observation applications in the coming years. This comes in light of the recently launched RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM), which uniquel...

Under ideal conditions of nitrogen (N), maize (Zea mays L.) can grow to its full potential, reaching maximum plant height (PH). As a rapid and nondestructive approach, the analysis of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-based imagery may be of assistance...

Where urban dwellers live at a fine scale is essential for the planning of services and response to city emergencies. Currently, most existing population mapping approaches considered census data as observational data for specifying models. However,...

Against the background of a worldwide decrease in the number of gauging stations, the estimation of river discharge using spaceborne data is crucial for hydrological research, river monitoring, and water resource management. Based on the at-many-stat...

Near-surface diurnal warming is an important process in the climate system, driving exchanges of water vapor and heat between the ocean and the atmosphere. The occurrence of the hot event (HE) is associated with the high diurnal sea surface temperatu...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between surface air temperature (SAT) and land surface temperature (LST) based on land use when heat and cold waves occur and to predict the distribution of SAT using the long short-term memory...
