TL;DR: In this article, a rapid canopy reflectance model inversion experiment was performed using multi-angle reflectance data from the NASA Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR) on the EarthObservingSystemTerrasatellite, with the goal of obtainingmeasuresofforest fractionalcrowncover, mean canopy height, and aboveground woody biomass for large parts of south-eastern Arizona and southern New Mexico (N200,000 km 2 ).

TL;DR: The surface of the planet was heavily obscured by a global dust storm during the first month in orbit, leaving a residual optical depth of about 0.1 as discussed by the authors, which suggests that the mean radius of the particles responsible for the obscuration was at least 10 microns.

TL;DR: Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3-4 hurricane as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3–4 hurricane. In addition, Nargis brought approximately 600 millimeters of rain and a storm surge of 3–4 meters to the low-lying and densely populated Irrawaddy River delta. In its wake, the storm left an estimated 130,000 dead or missing and more than $10 billion in economic losses. It was the worst natural disaster to strike the Indian Ocean region since the 26 December 2004 tsunami and the worst recorded natural disaster ever to affect Myanmar.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent progress concerning the composition and size distribution of the particles in Saturn's main ring system, and describe how these properties vary from place to place and how the particle size distribution is measured, and how it varies radially.
Abstract: We review recent progress concerning the composition and size distribution of the particles in Saturn's main ring system, and describe how these properties vary from place to place. We discuss how the particle size distribution is measured, and how it varies radially. We note the discovery of unusually large “particles” in restricted radial bands. We discuss the properties of the grainy regoliths of the ring particles. We review advances in understanding of ring particle composition from spectrophotometry at UV, visual and near-IR wavelengths, multicolor photometry at visual wavelengths, and thermal emission. We discuss the observed ring atmosphere and its interpretation and, briefly, models of the evolution of ring composition. We connect the ring composition with what has been learned recently about the composition of other icy objects in the Saturn system and beyond. Because the rings are so thoroughly and rapidly structurally evolved, the composition of the rings may be our best clue as to their origin; however, the evolution of ring particle composition over time must first be understood.
