The water cycle is the most essential supporting physical mechanism ensuring the existence
of life on Earth. Its components encompass the atmosphere, land, and oceans. The cycle is …

Sea-surface temperature (SST) was one of the first ocean variables to be studied from earth
observation satellites. Pioneering images from infrared scanning radiometers revealed the …

The monitoring of soil moisture and sea surface salinity over the Earth has been profoundly
enhanced during the last thirteen years due to a new generation of satellite sensors. L-band …

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP)
mission has been validating its soil moisture (SM) products since the start of data production …

sensing platforms. Footprint-scale assessments of these products are generally restricted to …

Abstract The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission Level‐4 Soil Moisture (L.
4_SM) product provides global, 3‐hourly, 9‐km resolution estimates of surface (0–5 cm) and …

Salinity observing satellites have the potential to monitor river fresh-water plumes
mesoscale spatio-temporal variations better than any other observing system. In the case of …

Soil moisture plays a key role in controlling land-atmosphere interactions, with implications
for water resources, agriculture, climate, and ecosystem dynamics. Although soil moisture …

In this paper, the nonlinear breathing vibrations of an eccentric rotating composite laminated
circular cylindrical shell are studied for the first time, which is subjected to the lateral and …
