The urban heat island (UHI) effect, a significant environmental challenge within the global urbanization process, poses severe threats to human health, ecological security, and life safety while also impacting the achievement of the United Nations Su...

Since its launch in 2016, a number of wind speed retrieval algorithms have been developed for the NASA CYGNSS satellite observations. We assess their accuracy and precision and characterize the dependence of their performance on environmental factors...

Synthetic aperture radar is widely applied to ship detection due to generating high-resolution images under diverse weather conditions and its penetration capabilities, making SAR images a valuable data source. However, detecting multi-scale ship tar...

Wildfires increasingly threaten ecosystems and infrastructure, making accurate burn severity mapping (BSM) essential for effective disaster response and environmental management. Machine learning (ML) models utilizing satellite-derived vegetation ind...

Mesoscale convective systems are effective sources of atmospheric disturbances that can reach ionospheric heights and significantly alter atmospheric and ionospheric conditions. Convective systems can affect the Earth’s atmosphere on a continen...

The present study introduces a comprehensive, open-access atlas of mesoscale eddies in the global ocean, as identified and tracked by the TOEddies algorithm implemented on a global scale. Unlike existing atlases, TOEddies detects eddies directly from...

In the process of radiometric calibration, the corrections for bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) and spectral band adjustment factors (SBAFs) are crucial. Time-series MODIS images are commonly used to construct BRDFs by using t...

The integrated multi-satellite retrievals for the global precipitation measurement (IMERG) data, which is the latest generation of multi-satellite fusion inversion precipitation product provided by the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission,...

It is essential to provide high-integrity navigation information for safety-critical applications. Global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) play an important role in these applications because they can provide global, high-accuracy, all-weather na...
