A multi-angle and polarization-based retrieval algorithm for aerosol layer height of smoke and dust

The vertical distribution of aerosols in the atmosphere governs their interactions with solar radiation and cloud processes, and is therefore a key factor influencing their climatic and environmental effects. Existing passive remote sensing methods for retrieving aerosol layer he...

UAV-Satellite Integration Reveals Continuous Methane Emission Variability from Chinese Coal Mine Ventilation Shafts

Abstract Satellite quantification of coal mine methane lacks validation for continuously operating ventilation systems with high temporal variability. We integrate 75 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flights (30 successful, 13 days) with 6.5 years of satellite observations at a Chin...

Fast All‐Sky Hyperspectral Infrared Radiative Transfer With Physically Recursive Cloud Treatment

Abstract Clouds strongly modify thermal infrared radiances through absorption, emission, and multiple scattering, yet rigorous line‐by‐line (LBL) gas absorption coupled with multi‐stream scattering remains too expensive for large ensembles of all‐sky hyperspectral simulations. We...

A Novel SIF-Based Framework Outperforms Empirical Models in Regional Ozone Stress Assessment for Winter Wheat

We integrated satellite SIF, climate, and MODIS datasets to evaluate regional ozone (O3) impacts on winter wheat. By coupling rMLR and Ball-Berry-Leuning (BBL) models, we simulated net photosynthesis (An) and canopy conductance (Gc) to estimate SIF-based stomatal O3 flux (SIF_POD...

Regional FireworksPollution over East and SoutheastAsia from Airborne Observations around the Spring Festival Period

Abstract Fireworks are spectacular, but they also pollute the atmosphere. While fireworks are known to rapidly increase local pollution levels, the regional influences and nanosized appearance of fireworks-related particles are poorly understood. This study collected aerosol part...
