The observation of lightning from space can have several advantages, including views of the tops of clouds, that can facilitate the study of in-cloud lightning as well as the world-wide access provided by the orbital parameters of a satellite. Given the brief duration of lightning, current space-based lighting monitors are necessarily complex in or...

Since the 1970s oil boom, nations surrounding the Arabian Gulf have witnessed rapid coastal urbanization, which accelerated in the early 2000s with the emergence of large-scale coastal ‘mega-projects’ designed to accommodate growing populations, attract international investments, and promote tourism. This development surge has had profound environm...

The aerosol size distribution is a crucial metric for evaluating aerosol optical characteristics and determines the direct and indirect radiative forcings of aerosols. Traditional methods for inversion of aerosol size distribution often suffer from ambiguities and limitations. To address these shortcomings, this paper introduces a method for inferr...

The HYPERNETS project developed a new hyperspectral radiometer (HYPSTAR®) integrated in automated networks of water (WATERHYPERNET) and land (LANDHYPERNET) bidirectional reflectance measurements for satellite validation. In this paper, the feasibility of using LANDHYPERNET surface reflectance data for vicarious calibration of multispectral (Sentine...

Woody vegetation restoration projects are an important feature of landscape function in Indonesian karst savannas. Understanding the relationship between available moisture and vegetation condition can assist with the planning and implementation of revegetation efforts. Working at vegetation restoration sites in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, we ap...

Introduction: The knowledge about forest growth, influenced by factors such as tree species, tree age, and environmental conditions, is a key for future forest preservation. Height and age data can be combined to describe forest growth and used to infer known environmental effects. Methods: In this study, we built 14 height growth curves for stands...

Coral reefs are biodiverse marine ecosystems that are undergoing rapid changes, making monitoring vital as we seek to manage and mitigate stressors. Healthy reef soundscapes are rich with sounds, enabling passive acoustic recording and soundscape analyses to emerge as cost-effective, long-term methods for monitoring reef communities. Yet most biolo...
