The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), spanning 11 provinces and municipalities across China, is of paramount importance due to its high economic development and strategic role in national distribution. However, the YREB, which has experienced rapid economic growth, faces challenges resulting from its previously expansive development model, includ...

Integrating satellite observations into hydrologic models has the potential to enhance soil moisture (SM) retrievals at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The hydrological model SWAT can produce spatiotemporally continuous soil moisture product with high resolution. This study proposed to physically couple the SWAT and Tau-omega radiative tra...

With the rapid development of the global economy, the over-expansion of outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) in cities has led to increasingly severe light pollution worldwide. More and more studies have paid attention to the problem of light pollution, but there is still a lack of systematic literature review on nighttime light pollution in te...

With the rapid urbanization process, the construction of lighting facilities is increasing, whereas artificial light at nighttime (ALAN) negatively affects organisms in protected areas and threatens ecosystems. Therefore, a deep research of ALAN within protected areas is significant for better preserving biodiversity by scientific ALAN management....

Surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) are a global concern. Although their spatial pattern and the cooling effect of blue-green landscapes have been documented, exploring more accurate and quantitative results is still necessary. For Hangzhou, we combined nighttime light (NTL) data with LST images to investigate the spatial morphology of SUHIs and ana...

PM2.5, as the primary indicator of environmental quality, not only affects the occurrence of haze but also is closely related to public health and has raised great attention recently. Although PM2.5 ground monitoring stations are expanding, they are still on the sparse side to identify the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentrations. With...

Satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval products are essential in air pollution and climate change research. Unfortunately, cloud contaminations and unfavorable surface conditions result in a considerable proportion of missing AOD data. Numerous studies have been conducted to reconstruct large-scale AOD data gaps by utilizing adjacent...

The cloud-free monthly composite of global nighttime light (NTL) data of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership with the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP-VIIRS) day/night band (DNB) provides indispensable indications of human activities and settlements. However, the coarse spatial resolution (15 arc sec) of NTL imagery greatly...

Shrinking cities—cities suffering from population and economic decline—has become a pressing societal issue of worldwide concern. While night-time light (NTL) data have been applied as an important tool for the identification of shrinking cities, the current methods are constrained and biased by the lack of using long-term continuous NTL time serie...

Accurate estimation of daily spatially-continuous PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) concentration is a prerequisite to address environmental public health issues, and satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) products have been widely used to estimate PM2.5 concentrations using statistical-based or machine learning-based models. However, statistica...

The notable increase in artificial night light (ANL) induced by the rapid urbanization process has been widely studied, but a deep understanding of the supply and demand status of ANL is still lacking. This paper attempts to map the supply and demand of ANL from the human perspective by using advanced Loujia1-01 nighttime imagery and social media d...

The xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA) system has the potential to detect cellular proliferation, migration, cytotoxicity, adherence, and remodeling. Although the RTCA system is widely recognized as a noninvasive and efficient tool for real-time monitoring of cellular fate, it cannot describe detailed cell morphological parameters, such as...
