Modelling of airborne pollen dispersion in the atmosphere in the Catalonia region, Spain: model description, emission scheme and evaluation of model performance for the case of Pinus
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2019)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyPollination is a biologically-relevant process that affects the structure of ecosystems since pollen contributes to determine the spatial distribution of plant species. It is thus of interest for mapping ecosystem services ... -
SMF-POLOPT: an adaptive multitemporal pol(DIn)SAR filtering and phase optimization algorithm for PSI applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-09-01)
Article
Open AccessSpeckle noise and decorrelation can hamper the application and interpretation of PolSAR images. In this paper, a new adaptive multitemporal Pol(DIn)SAR filtering and phase optimization algorithm is proposed to address these ... -
Progress toward characterization of the atmospheric boundary layer over northern Alabama using observations by a vertically pointing, S-band profiling radar during VORTEX-Southeast
(American Meteorological Society, 2019-09-09)
Article
Open AccessDuring spring 2016 and spring 2017, a vertically pointing, S-band FMCW radar (UMass FMCW) was deployed in northern Alabama under the auspices of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX) ... -
Performance of a dust model to predict the vertical mass concentration of an extreme Saharan dust event in the Iberian Peninsula: Comparison with continuous, elastic, polarization-sensitive lidars
(2019-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn intense dusty event unusually occurred in wintertime over the Iberian Peninsula was detected over two Spanish NASA/MPLNET sites: the temporary Torrejón Observational Tower for Environmental Monitoring (TOTEM, 40.5°N ... -
Impact of signal quantization on the performance of RFI mitigation algorithms
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessRadio Frequency Interference (RFI) is currently a major problem in Communications and Earth Observation, but it is even more dramatic in Microwave Radiometry because of the low power levels of the received signals. Its ... -
Validation of AERONET-estimated upward broadband solar fluxes at the top-of-the-atmosphere with CERES measurements
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-09-01)
Article
Open AccessThe AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) global network provides estimations of broadband solar radiative fluxes at the surface and at the TOA (Top-Of-the-Atmosphere). This paper reports on the validation of AERONET flux ... -
Characterization of aerosol hygroscopicity using Raman lidar measurements at the EARLINET station of Payerne
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-09-17)
Article
Open AccessThis study focuses on the analysis of aerosol hygroscopicity using remote sensing techniques. Continuous observations of aerosol backscatter coefficient (ßaer), temperature (T) and water vapor mixing ratio (r) have been ... -
Introducing the Atmospheric Thermodynamics LidAr in Space – ATLAS
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018)
Conference lecture
Open AccessOur understanding of the distribution of heat and water in the atmosphere still shows critical gaps on all temporal and spatial scales. This is mainly due to a lack of accurate measurements of water vapor ... -
Extreme, wintertime Saharan dust outbreak in the Iberian Peninsula: lidar monitoring and evaluation of dust forecast models during the February 2017 event
(2019-06-18)
Article
Open AccessAn unprecedented extreme Saharan dust event was registered in winter time from 20 to 23 February 2017 over the Iberian Peninsula (IP). We report on aerosol optical properties observed under this extreme dust intrusion ... -
