Assessing the vertical accuracy of digital elevation models by quality level and land cover Assessing the vertical accuracy of digital elevation models by quality level and land cover
The vertical accuracy of elevation data in coastal environments is critical because small variations in elevation can affect an area’s exposure to waves, tides, and storm-related flooding. Elevation data contractors typically quantify the vertical accuracy of lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) on a per-project basis to gauge whether the datasets meet quality and accuracy...

Responses of marginal and intrinsic water-use efficiency to changing aridity using FLUXNET observations Responses of marginal and intrinsic water-use efficiency to changing aridity using FLUXNET observations
According to classic stomatal optimization theory, plant stomata are regulated to maximize carbon assimilation for a given water loss. A key component of stomatal optimization models is marginal water-use efficiency (mWUE), the ratio of the change of transpiration to the change in carbon assimilation. Although the mWUE is often assumed to be constant, variability of mWUE under changing...

ENSO-based outlook of droughts and agricultural outcomes in Afghanistan ENSO-based outlook of droughts and agricultural outcomes in Afghanistan
Drought is one of the key drivers of food insecurity in Afghanistan, which is among the most food insecure countries in the world. In this study, we build on previous research and seek to answer the central question: “What is the influence of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on drought outlooks and agricultural yield outcome in Afghanistan, and how do these influences vary spatially?”...

Evaluation of streamflow predictions from LSTM models in water- and energy-limited regions in the United States Evaluation of streamflow predictions from LSTM models in water- and energy-limited regions in the United States
The application of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models for streamflow predictions has been an area of rapid development, supported by advancements in computing technology, increasing availability of spatiotemporal data, and availability of historical data that allows for training data-driven LSTM models. Several studies have focused on improving the performance of LSTM models; however...

Concept of a satellite cross-calibration radiometer for in-orbit calibration of commercial optical satellites Concept of a satellite cross-calibration radiometer for in-orbit calibration of commercial optical satellites
The satellite Earth observation (EO) sector is burgeoning with hundreds of commercial satellites being launched each year, delivering a rich source of data that could be exploited for societal benefit. Data streams from the growing number of commercial satellites are of variable quality, limiting the potential for their combined use in science applications that need long time-series data...

SSEBop evapotranspiration estimates using synthetically derived Landsat data from the continuous change detection and classification algorithm SSEBop evapotranspiration estimates using synthetically derived Landsat data from the continuous change detection and classification algorithm
The operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model has been utilized to generate gridded evapotranspiration data from Landsat images. These estimates are primarily driven by two sources of information: reference evapotranspiration and Landsat land surface temperature (LST) values. Hence, SSEBop is limited by the availability of Landsat data. Here, in this proof-of-concept...
