TL;DR: In this paper, the AERONET program of spectral aerosol optical depth, precipitable water, and derived Angstrom exponent were analyzed and compiled into a spectral optical properties climatology.

TL;DR: In this paper, two intense dust storms were generated over the Gobi desert by springtime low-pressure systems descending from the northwest, and the windblown dust was detected and its evolution followed by its yellow color on SeaWiFS satellite images, routine surface-based monitoring and through serendipitous observations.

TL;DR: Increases in ocean NPP were pronounced in tropical regions where El Niño–Southern Oscillation impacts on upwelling and nutrient availability were greatest, and Globally, land NPP did not exhibit a clear ENSO response, although regional changes were substantial.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the science behind this change in remote sensing, and the sensitivity studies and applications of the new algorithms to data from present satellite and aircraft instruments, and concluded that the anticipated remote sensing of aerosol simultaneously from several space platforms with different observation strategies, together with continuous validations around the world, is expected to be of significant importance to test remote sensing approaches to characterize the complex and highly variable aerosol field.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented evidence of a warm, salty surface current flowing poleward along the Iberian Peninsula using a sequence of satellite infrared images and concomitant in situ hydrographic data obtained during the winter of 1983-1984.
