Spatially-explicit estimates of population density, together with appropriate estimates of uncertainty, are required in many management contexts. Density Surface Models (DSMs) are a two-stage approach for estimating spatially-varying…
Accurate soil moisture (SM) estimation is critical for precision agriculture, water resources management and climate monitoring. Yet, existing satellite SM products are too coarse (>1km) for farm-level applications. We present a…
Spatial boundaries, such as ecological transitions or climatic regime interfaces, capture steep environmental gradients, and shifts in their structure can signal emerging environmental changes. Quantifying uncertainty in spatial boundary…
As we approach solar convection simulations that seek to model the interaction of small-scale granulation and supergranulation and even larger scales of convection within the near-surface shear layer (NSSL), the treatment of the boundary…
Soil moisture-precipitation coupling (SMPC) plays a critical role in Earth's water and energy cycles but remains difficult to quantify due to synoptic-scale variability and the complex interplay of land-atmosphere processes. Here, we apply…
Surface heterogeneity, particularly complex patterns of surface heating, significantly influences mesoscale atmospheric flows, yet observational constraints and modeling limitations have hindered comprehensive understanding and model…
This work focuses on estimating soil properties from water moisture measurements. We consider simulated data generated by solving the initial-boundary value problem governing vertical infiltration in a homogeneous, bounded soil profile,…
In hot arid and semi-arid regions, substantial irrigation water is lost through surface evaporation under intense solar irradiation and high temperatures, limiting freshwater sustainability and crop productivity. Superhydrophobic Sand (SHS)…
Condensation in cumulus clouds plays a key role in structuring the mean, non-precipitating trade-wind boundary layer. Here, we summarise how this role also explains the spontaneous growth of mesoscale ($>O(10)$ km) fluctuations in clouds…
The dynamics in the photosphere is governed by the multi-scale turbulent convection termed as granulation and supergranulation. It is important to derive 3-dimensional velocity vectors to understand the nature of the turbulent convection.…
Recent studies in ecology and epidemiology indicate that it is important to include spatial heterogeneity, synchronization and seasonality in the theoretical models. In this work, spatial heterogeneity is introduced via coupled map lattices…
We developed methods for mapping spatial variations of the spatial power spectrum (SPS) and structure function (SF) slopes, with a goal of connecting neutral hydrogen (HI) statistical properties with the turbulent drivers. The new methods…
Climate change increases the frequency of extreme rainfall, placing a significant strain on urban infrastructures, especially Combined Sewer Systems (CSS). Overflows from overburdened CSS release untreated wastewater into surface waters,…
Although most models for rainfall extremes focus on point-wise values, it is aggregated precipitation over areas up to river catchment scale that is of the most interest. To capture the joint behaviour of precipitation aggregates evaluated…
The performance of land surface models (LSMs) significantly affects the understanding of atmospheric and related processes. Many of the LSMs' soil and vegetation parameters were unknown so that it is crucially important to efficiently…
Along-track wavenumber spectral densities of sea surface height (SSH) are estimated from Jason-2 altimetry data as a function of spatial location and calendar month, to understand the seasonality of meso- and submesoscale balanced dynamics…
Surface solar irradiance varies on scales as small as seconds or meters due to scattering and absorption by the atmosphere. Clouds are the main driver of this variability, but moisture structures in the atmospheric boundary layer and…
Stratocumulus clouds cover about a fifth of Earths surface, and due to their albedo and low-latitude location, they have a strong effect on Earths radiation budget. Previous studies using Large Eddy Simulations have shown that multiple…
The land-atmosphere coupling strength has been defined as the percentage of precipitation variability explained by the variation of soil moisture in the Global Land-Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE). While it is useful to identify…
Low-mass models of M-dwarfs that undergo the convective kissing instability fluctuate in luminosity and temperature resulting in a gap in the main sequence that is observed in the $Gaia$ data. During this instability, the models have…
