Jia, Junru (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jia, Li (author), Chen, Qiting (author), Xu, Anlun (author)Accurate and continuous estimation of surface albedo is vital for assessing and understanding land–surface–atmosphere interactions. We developed a method for estimating instantaneous all-sky at-surface shortwave upwelling radiance and albedo over the Tibetan Plateau. The method accounts for the complex interplay of topography and atmospheric...journal article 2024

Jia, Junru (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jia, Li (author), Chen, Qiting (author), Xu, Anlun (author)Accurate knowledge of the at-surface solar irradiance (SSI) is essential for retrieving surface and atmospheric properties using satellite measurements of backscattered and reflected radiance. The latter is affected by surface-atmosphere interactions, including the effects of terrain. The SSI is affected by the same processes. This study...journal article 2024

In West Africa, the key trend among the changes of the past few years is the loss of natural vegetation related to changes in different LULC categories, e.g., water bodies, wetland, and bare soil. However, not all detected changes in these LULC...journal article 2023

Ye, Hanting (author), Lan, G. (author), Jia, Jinyuan (author), Wang, Q. (author)Smartphones are moving towards the fullscreen design for better user experience. This trend forces front cameras to be placed under screen, leading to Under-Screen Cameras (USC). Accordingly, a small area of the screen is made translucent to allow light to reach the USC. In this paper, we utilize the translucent screen's features to...book chapter 2023
