Modeling and reconstruction of time series of passive microwave data by Discrete Fourier Transform guided filtering and Harmonic Analysis

Daily time series of microwave radiometer data obtained in one-orbit direction are full of observation gaps due to satellite configuration and errors from spatial sampling. Such time series carry information about the surface signal including surface emittance and vegetation attenuation, and the atmospheric signal including atmosphere...

Analysis and modeling of the seasonal South China Sea temperature cycle using remote sensing

3D temperature modeling for the South China Sea using remote sensing data

The South China Sea's (SCS) seasonal, large-scale temperature cycle is governed to a large extend by the monsoon. This phenomenon modulates the large-scale circulation, transport and mixing as well as the exchange processes with the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. Also, significant variations in net surface heat flux will contribute to the...
