Versions Notes Abstract Heat waves and warm spells are extreme meteorological events that generate a significant number of casualties in temperate regions, as well as outside of temperate regions. For the purpose of this paper, heat waves and warm spells were identified based on daily maximum tempe...

Versions Notes Abstract Studying the long-term variations in warm and cold events and their causes under global warming is important for understanding urban climate change, planning, and green development, as well as for disaster prevention and mitigation. In this study, taking the megacity of Nanji...
Versions Notes Abstract Snowfall data are vital in calculating the surface mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where in-situ and satellite measurements are sparse at synoptic timescales. CloudSat data are used to construct Antarctic snowfall data at synoptic timescales to compensate for th...
Being benefited by the increasing GNSS constellation, this technique provides gaped wide swath coverage and thus enables synoptic views under all weather conditions, as L-band signals penetrate thick clouds and precipitation cells. All these aspects have motivated the deployment of dedicated GNSS-R ...
