Different radiometer sensors have different frequencies, spatial resolutions, and time which lead to inconsistencies in ice drift products retrieved by sensors. Based on the continuous maximum cross-correlation method, this paper, we used China’s FY-3 HY-2 satellite data generate sea products; further evaluated consistency between them from AMSR2 SSMIS data, could help future retrieval accuraci...

The North Water (NOW) Polynya is a regularly-forming area of open-water and thin-ice, located between northwestern Greenland and Ellesmere Island (Canada) at the northern tip of Baffin Bay. Due to its large spatial extent, it is of high importance for a variety of physical and biological processes, especially in wintertime. Here, we present a long-term remote sensing study for the winter season...

The NASA CYGNSS satellite constellation measures ocean surface winds using the existing network of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and was designed for measurements in tropical cyclones (TCs). Here, we focus on a consistent methodology to validate multiple wind data records currently available public, some focusing low moderate speeds, others high winds, storm-centric product TC analy...

The measurement of ocean surface wind speeds in precipitation from satellite microwave radiometers is a challenging task. Rain attenuates the signal that emitted surface. Moreover, rain and signals are very similar, which makes it difficult to distinguish rain. contamination can be mitigated for operate simultaneously at C-band X-band channels, such as WindSat, AMSR-E AMSR2. basic principle use...

Remote sensing and land surface models promote the understanding of soil moisture dynamics by means multiple products. These products differ in data sources, algorithms, model structures forcing datasets, complicating selection optimal products, especially regions with complex covers. This study compared different algorithms flagging strategies based on situ observations Anhui province, China, ...
