Ultraviolet (UV) radiation effects on Earth’s ecosystems on a global scale can be assessed on a basis of satellite estimates of hyperspectral irradiance on the surface and in ocean waters and the spectral biological weighting functions. The sat...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is vital for global water balance, energy cycle, and biological processes, representing a key component of Earth systems interactions. However, how human activities affect regional ET is still unknown. This study identified a...

Rain backscatter corrupts Ku-band scatterometer wind retrieval by mixing with the signatures of the ${\sigma }^{\circ }$ (backscatter measurements) on the sea surface. The measurements are sensitive to rain clouds due to the short wavelength, and the rain-...

Resistance, resilience, and recovery time are critical for quantifying the stability of grasslands in response to drought disturbances. Few studies have simultaneously considered both drought intensity and duration to analyze the stability of differe...

The quantization process of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images faces significant challenges due to their high dynamic range, resulting in notable quantization distortion. This not only degrades the visual quality of the quantized images but also s...

Ecological integrity is fundamental to human survival and development. However, rapid urbanization and population growth have significantly disrupted ecosystems. Despite the focus of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) on terrestri...

Integrating LiDAR and photogrammetry offers significant potential for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the 3D models of existing structures, which are essential for several applications in the architectural, engineering, and construction (AE...

In dual-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, the estimation of the four-dimensional motion parameters of the ground maneuvering target is a critical challenge. In particular, when spatial degrees of freedom are used to enhance the target&r...

The Aburrá Valley, located in the northwestern region of Colombia, has undergone significant land cover changes and urban expansion in recent decades, driven by rapid population growth and infrastructure development. This region, known for its...

Vegetation characteristics significantly influence the impact of wildfires on individual building structures, and these effects can be systematically analyzed using heat transfer modelling software. Close-range light detection and ranging (LiDAR) dat...
