The estimation of downward surface shortwave radiation (DSSR) is important for the Earth’s
energy budget and climate change studies. This review was organised from the …

Soil respiration (R s ) represents the largest flux of CO 2 from terrestrial ecosystems to the
atmosphere, but its spatial and temporal changes as well as the driving forces are not well …

The Soil Moisture Experiment in the Luan River (SMELR) was conducted from 2017 to 2018
in the semi-arid Luan River watershed located in the North of China. One of the objectives of …

A new soil moisture and soil temperature wireless sensor network (the SMN-SDR) consisting
of 34 sites was established within the Shandian River Basin in 2018, located in a semi-arid …

Land surface temperature (LST) plays a critical role in land surface processes. However, as
one of the effective means for obtaining global LST observations, remote sensing …

Earth observation satellites play a critical role in providing information for understanding the
global water cycle, which dominates the Earth-climate system. However, limitations in …

Atmospheric water vapor plays an important role in hydrologic cycle and climate change of
the Earth. A number of studies have focused on retrieval of the total precipitable water (TPW) …

Abstract Analysis of cloud cover and its diurnal variation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is
highly reliant on satellite data; however, the accuracy of cloud detection from both polar-orbiting …

Surface downward solar radiation compositions (SSRC), including photosynthetically active
radiation (PAR), ultraviolet-A (UVA), ultraviolet-B (UVB), and shortwave radiation (SWR), …

Clouds play a significant role in the derivation of land surface temperature (LST) from
optical remote sensing. The estimation of LST under cloudy sky conditions has been a great …
