TL;DR: The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) is capable of measuring solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), a functional proxy for terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the δ18O and δD of rainwater collected in 2007 and 2008 near Cherrapunji, India, and found that the temporal trend in the Δ18O reflects increasing transport distance during the Indian summer monsoon, isotopic changes in the northern BoB surface waters during late ISM, and vapor re-equilibration with rain droplets.

TL;DR: The non-supervised construction of a mass spectral and retention time index data base from a set of plant metabolic profiles covering major organs of potato, tobacco, and Arabidopsis thaliana, was demonstrated and hierarchical clustering was applied to a complete set of pair-wise mass spectral comparisons of unknown components and reference substances with known chemical structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of TOC content, thermal maturity, clay minerals, moisture content, pore properties, particle size, temperature, and pressure on methane sorption capacity were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied a technique for precise orthorectification, co-registration, and sub-pixel correlation of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) satellite imagery to derive surface velocities of Himalayan glaciers.
