Hybrid statistical-dynamic downscaling based on multi-model ensembles in Southeast Asia
Managed by PREP-NexT Lab
GCMs under CMIP6 have been widely used to investigate climate change impacts and put forward associated adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the relatively coarse spatial resolutions (usually 100~300km) preclude their direct applications at regional scales, which are exactly where the analysis (e.g., hydrological model simulation) is performed. To bridge this gap, a typical approach is to ‘refine’ the information from GCMs through regional climate downscaling experiments, which can be conducted statistically, dynamically, or a combination thereof. Statistical downscaling establishes ...

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations are estimated using information from satellite-, simulation- and monitor-based sources. Aerosol optical depth from multiple satellites (MODIS, VIIRS, MISR, SeaWiFS, and VIIRS) and their respective retrievals (Dark Target, Deep Blue, MAIAC) is combined with simulation (GEOS-Chem) based upon their relative uncertainties as determined using ground-based sun photometer (AERONET) observations to produce geophysical estimates that explain most of the variance in ground-based PM2.5 measurements.

Satellite - Altimetry calibration and validation
Managed by AODN
High precision satellite altimeter missions including TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P), Jason-1 and now OSTM/Jason-2, have contributed fundamental advances in our understanding of regional and global ocean circulation and its role in the Earth's climate and regional applications. These altimeter satellites essentially observe the height of the global oceans – as such, they have become the tool of choice for scientists to measure sea level rise – both at regional and global scales as well as giving information about ocean currents and large- and small-scale variability.

Sentinel-2 Geometric Median and Absolute Deviations (GeoMAD) over the Pacific
Managed by Pacific Community (SPC)
The Geometric Median and Absolute Deviations (GeoMAD) product is a cloud-free annual mosaic that uses a more robust method of determining the median observation than a simple median. Along with the median observation, the GeoMAD produces three measures of variance, or absolute deviations, which helps to understand how the data over the time period changes. For example, some areas, such as desert, will change very little. Whereas crop land will change more. All ofthese values are useful in understand what is happening in the area covered by the GeoMAD.
