  • Degradation and deforestation increase the sensitivity of the Amazon Forest to climate extremes

    Open AccessMarcos Longo, Michael Keller et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    About 40% of the Brazilian Amazon has been deforested or suffered changes in forest structure through degradation (selective logging, fires, and fragmentation). The impact of forest degradation on the forest’s sensitivity to climate extremes has not been fully explored because of a lack of data and the complex interplay of forest structure and climate drivers. Here, we combined forest structure data from 545 airborne lidar transects (375 ha each)…

  • The Nasa Carbon Monitoring System Phase 2 synthesis: Scope, findings, gaps and recommended next steps

    Open AccessG C Hurtt, A E Andrews et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Underlying policy efforts to address global climate change is the scientific need to develop the methods to accurately measure and model carbon stocks and fluxes across the wide range of spatial and temporal scales in the Earth system. Initiated in 2010, the NASA Carbon Monitoring System is one of the most ambitious relevant science initiatives to date, exploiting the satellite remote sensing resources, computational capabilities, scientific know…

  • A new methodology for inferring surface ozone from multispectral satellite measurements

    Open AccessNadia Colombi, Nadia K Colombi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Over the past two decades, satellite instruments have provided unprecedented information on global air quality, and yet the remote sensing of surface ozone remains elusive. Here we propose a new method to infer spatial variability in surface ozone by combining multispectral ozone retrievals using radiances from the tropospheric emission spectrometer thermal infrared instrument and the ozone monitoring instrument ultratraviolet/visible instrument …

  • Emergent constraints on tropical atmospheric aridity—carbon feedbacks and the future of carbon sequestration

    Open AccessArmineh Barkhordarian, K W Bowman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Carbon-climate feedbacks, which amplifies or attenuates atmospheric CO 2 from fossil fuel emissions, are one of the largest sources of uncertainty in climate projections. However, these feedbacks depend both on temperature and its coupling to water and energy cycles, especially in the tropics. We show that atmospheric aridity—quantified as vapor pressure deficit (VPD)—is a good proxy for this coupling. Tropical VPD is strongly correlated to the g…

  • Detection of fossil fuel emission trends in the presence of natural carbon cycle variability

    Open AccessYi Yin, K W Bowman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Atmospheric CO 2 observations have the potential to monitor regional fossil fuel emission (FFCO 2 ) changes to support carbon mitigation efforts such as the Paris Accord, but they must contend with the confounding impacts of the natural carbon cycle. Here, we quantify trend detection time and magnitude in gridded total CO 2 fluxes—the sum of FFCO 2 and natural carbon fluxes—under an idealized assumption that monthly total CO 2 fluxes can be perfe…

  • Detecting drought impact on terrestrial biosphere carbon fluxes over contiguous US with satellite observations

    Open AccessJunjie Liu, K W Bowman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    With projections of increasing drought in the future, understanding how the natural carbon cycle responds to drought events is needed to predict the fate of the land carbon sink and future atmospheric CO _2 concentrations and climate. We quantified the impacts of the 2011 and 2012 droughts on terrestrial ecosystem carbon uptake anomalies over the contiguous US (CONUS) relative to non-drought years during 2010–2015 using satellite observations and…

  • Hydrological controls on the tropospheric ozone greenhouse gas effect

    Open AccessLe Kuai, K W Bowman et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2017

    The influence of the hydrological cycle in the greenhouse gas (GHG) effect of tropospheric ozone (O3) is quantified in terms of the O3 longwave radiative effect (LWRE), which is defined as the net reduction of top-of-atmosphere flux due to total tropospheric O3 absorption. The O3 LWRE derived from the infrared spectral measurements by Aura’s Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) show that the spatiotemporal variation of LWRE is relevant to rel…
