Satellite-based thermal infrared (TIR) data is directly linked to the LST through the radiative transfer equation. The retrieval of the LST from remotely sensed TIR data has attracted much attention, and its history dates back to the 1970s (McMillin, 1975). To better understand the Earth syst...
The complementarity of these two data sources suggests there is great potential for mutually beneficial integration. Unfortunately, there are still important gaps in crowdsourced satellite image analysis by means of crowdsourcing in areas such as land cover classification and emergency management. In this...
The image was compiled by superimposing data of the Aurora Australis collected by NASA's IMAGE satellite atop of an image of Earth from a south polar perspective from the Blue Marble project. The result simulates what the Aurora Australis would look like from a satellite orbiting above. Image ...
Landsat 8 image services join the other Landsat imagery that Esri has made accessible. Esri first released more than eight terabytes of Landsat imagery services in ArcGIS Online two years ago. These image services made the collection of Landsat Global Land Survey (GLS) scenes spanning the epochs ...
Extreme temperature and precipitation events are the primary triggers of hazards, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and landslides, with localized impacts. In this sense, the finer grids of Earth System models (ESMs) could play an essential role in better estimating extreme climate events. ...
The ring current is an electric current composed of electrically charged particles trapped in the Earth’s magnetosphere (Dessler and Parker, 1959; Sckopke, 1966; Carovillano and Siscoe, 1973; Gonzalez et al., 1994; Daglis et al., 1999). The generation of the ring current results from the...
There is an unprecedented array of new satellite technologies with capabilities for advancing our understanding of ecological processes and the changing composition of the Earth’s biosphere at scales from local plots to the whole planet. We identified 4

Through the use of satellite scatterometer data, it is observed that the East Asian northerly monsoonal winds decrease drastically when crossing the Kuroshio Current. In a section across the Kuroshio Current region, as revealed by reanalysis data, it is suggested that the upward velocity has a two...
Full size image In contrast, the area south of the ERZ exhibits little eddy activity and is dominated by a persistent large-scale circulation, characterized by the westward-flowing strong North Equatorial Current (NEC) between 8°−17°N (Fig. 1a). However, analysis of all major TCs (≥CA...
