Understanding the summertime warming in canyon and non-canyon surfaces

Rubab Saher et al.

Summary: Urban landscapes, characterized by unique buildings, pavements, and vegetation, have complex effects on the atmosphere. Research shows that canyons are the major cause of daytime cooling and nighttime warming. Different surface types have different cooling effects, for example, turfgrass is 4°C cooler than canyons, and north-south oriented canyons are 2°C cooler than east-west oriented canyons.

Urban evapotranspiration of green spaces in arid regions through two established approaches: a review of key drivers, advancements, limitations, and potential opportunities

Rubab Saher et al.

Summary: The estimation of urban Evapotranspiration (ET) is difficult due to high spatial variability of urban surfaces. This paper reviews two commonly used approaches landscape coefficient and surface energy balance approach, highlighting the advancements standardization of models and consideration of spatial variability. Limitations include oversimplification of microclimate effects and lack of precise estimation for mixed landscapes. Opportunities include coupling numerical models, UAV-based technologies, detecting mixed landscapes using vegetation indices, and quantifying atmospheric effects.

Crop Type and Land Cover Mapping in Northern Malawi Using the Integration of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and PlanetScope Satellite Data

Daniel Kpienbaareh et al.

Summary: Mapping crop types and land cover in smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa is challenging due to data costs, cloud cover, and temporal resolution limitations of satellite data. By integrating data from sensors with different spectral characteristics and temporal resolutions, detailed crop type and land cover maps can be effectively produced. The fusion of radar data with optical data in cloud-dense and resource-poor areas presents an opportunity for operational mapping of crop types and land cover to support decision-making for food security and environmental management.

More Diverse Means Better: Multimodal Deep Learning Meets Remote-Sensing Imagery Classification

Danfeng Hong et al.

Summary: This study introduces a general multimodal deep learning (MDL) framework for the classification and identification challenges in geoscience and remote sensing. By investigating a special case of multi-modality learning (MML), the study presents five fusion strategies and demonstrates how to train deep networks and build network architectures effectively. Experimental results on two different multimodal RS data sets confirm the efficiency and advantages of the proposed MDL framework.

Evaluating Irrigation Performance and Water Productivity Using EEFlux ET and NDVI

Usha Poudel et al.

Summary: This study evaluated irrigation equity, adequacy, and crop water productivity for alfalfa and sugar beet in Southern California's Imperial Valley. Results showed high irrigation adequacy but significant room for improvement in crop water productivity. The study's findings could help water managers target fields for water conservation and management efforts.
