Abstract. Surface air temperature (Ta), as an important climate variable, has been used in a wide range of fields such ecology, hydrology, climatology, epidemiology, and environmental science. However, ground measurements are limited by poor spatial representation inconsistency, reanalysis meteorological forcing datasets suffer from coarse resolution inaccuracy. Previous studies using satellite...

In the Amazon region, the estimation of radiation fluxes through remote sensing techniques is hindered by the lack of ground measurements required as input in the models, as well as the difficulty to obtain cloud-free images. Here, we assess an approach to estimate net radiation (Rn) and its components under all-sky conditions for the Amazon region through the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm f...

[1] Global trends in a new multi-satellite surface soil moisture dataset were analyzed for the period 1988–2010. 27% of the area covered by the dataset showed significant trends (p = 0.05). Of these, 73% were negative and 27% positive. Subtle drying trends were found in the Southern US, central South America, central Eurasia, northern Africa and the Middle East, Mongolia and northeast China, no...

Sutami Reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir, so it necessary to record complete rainfall data and evaporation as basis for regulating reservoir operation patterns, water balance analysis, others. Satellite technology can be applied such an alternative hydrological anticipate incompleteness inaccuracy of during observation.. This study aimed evaluate satellite with observation in the Area. TRMM...

Flooding is projected to increase with climate change in many parts of the world. Floods in cold regions are commonly a result of snowmelt during the spring break-up. The peak river flow (Qpeak) for the Mackenzie River, located in northwest Canada, is modelled using the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite observations. Compared with the observed Qpeak at a downstream hydro...

The measurement of total basin discharge along coastal regions is necessary for understanding the hydrological and oceanographic issues related to the water and energy cycles. However, only the observed streamflow (gauge-based observation) is used to estimate the total fluxes from the river basin to the ocean, neglecting the portion of discharge that infiltrates to underground and directly disc...

By using a coupled land surface-atmosphere model with initial conditions of varying resolution and ensembles of systematically changed soil moisture, convective-scale simulations of a typical frontal rainstorm in the Yangtze River Basin are collected to investigate: (1) effects of different datasets on the simulated frontal mesoscale convective systems (MCSs); (2) possible linkages between soil...

Sea level rise related to the melting and thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), a subject of growing concern in recent years, will eventually affect the global climate. Although the melting of snow on the GrIS is actively monitored by passive microwave remote sensing, very few studies have estimated the seasonal GrIS snow depth using this technique. In this study, to estimate seasonal sno...

This paper aims to address the limitations of distribution number and uniformity Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) their impact on reliability inverting regional groundwater storage (GWS) based Green’s function method using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data. A fusion inversion GWS changes from GNSS Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) was proposed in this pape...
