This study proposes a global-to-local approach for estimating forest height by fusing repeat-pass synthetic aperture radar interferometry and Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) data. Using Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS-1) data and a twofold strategy to address temporal gaps, the method produced 30 m gridded forest height mosaics for the northeastern United States and China, demonstrating promising accuracies and offering potential for fusing data from future missions.

The Tibetan Plateau plays a vital role in Asia’s water cycle, but tracking water vapor in this mountainous region is difficult, especially under cloudy conditions. We developed a new satellite-based method to generate hourly water vapor data at 0.02-degree resolution from 2016 to 2022, now available at https://data.tpdc.ac.cn/en/data/4bb3c256-3cdb-4373-9924-f7ac16ddc717, which improves accuracy and reveals fine-scale moisture transport critical for understanding rainfall and extreme weather.

Understanding how much water is stored in snow is important for tracking climate change and managing water supply. This study used satellite radar data from 2019 to 2021 to measure snow water changes in a mountain region of China. The results matched ground data well, especially in cold, dry conditions without heavy snowfall. A new phase calibration method helped improve accuracy, offering a useful reference for global snow monitoring using widely available satellite data.

The Sentinel-1-based C-snow product has been widely used as reference data across various scales, but its reliability remains unknown. This study systematically evaluates its performance at 1, 10, and 25 km scales using ground-based measurements and airborne LiDAR data. The results show that performance is influenced by factors such as forest fraction, DEM, permanent ice, and wet snow. We also identify scale patterns differences compared to station and airborne datasets and explore the reasons.

This study presents a climate data record (CDR) of atmospheric column water vapor and sea surface temperature using over two decades of stable-orbit satellite-based passive microwave imagery observations. The evaluation results show that the CDR has long-term consistency and continuity, and is more accurate than other similar products in climate covariability, suggesting that the CDR is suitable for climate change research and for constraining climate model simulations.

Based on the MicroWave Radiation Imager aboard FY-3 series satellites, we developed a global terrestrial precipitable water vapor dataset from 2012 to 2020. This dataset overcomes the limitations of infrared observations and provides accurate, all-weather PWV data ,spanning all types of land surface. Researchers are expected to leverage it to explore the role of water vapor in weather patterns, refine precipitation forecasting, and validate climate simulations.

Understanding snow phenology (SP) and its possible feedback are important. We reveal spatiotemporal heterogeneous SP on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and the mediating effects from meteorological, topographic, and environmental factors on it. The direct effects of meteorology on SP are much greater than the indirect effects. Topography indirectly effects SP, while vegetation directly effects SP. This study contributes to understanding past global warming and predicting future trends on the TP.

We developed an algorithm to estimate snow mass using X- and dual Ku-band radar, and tested it in a ground-based experiment. The algorithm, the Bayesian-based Algorithm for SWE Estimation (BASE) using active microwaves, achieved an RMSE of 30 mm for snow water equivalent. These results demonstrate the potential of radar, a highly promising sensor, to map snow mass at high spatial resolution.

The sea ice concentration product derived from the Microwave Radiation Image sensors on board the FengYun-3 satellites can reasonably and independently identify the seasonal and long-term changes of sea ice, as well as extreme cases of annual maximum and minimum sea ice extent in polar regions. It is comparable with other sea ice concentration products and applied to the studies of climate and marine environment.

Reliable snow cover information is important for understating climate change and hydrological cycling. We generate long-term daily gap-free snow products over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) at 500 m resolution from 2002 to 2021 based on the hidden Markov random field model. The accuracy is 91.36 %, and is especially improved during snow transitional period and over complex terrains. This dataset has great potential to study climate change and to facilitate water resource management in the TP.

We develop and validate a new 20-year MODIS snow-cover-extent product over China, which is dedicated to addressing known problems of the standard snow products. As expected, the new product significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art MODIS C6.1 products; improvements are particularly clear in forests and for the daily cloud-free product. Our product has provided more reliable snow knowledge over China and can be accessible freely https://dx.doi.org/10.11888/Snow.tpdc.271387.

Air temperature is an important parameter reflecting climate change, and the current method of obtaining daily temperature is affected by many factors. In this study, we constructed a temperature model based on weather conditions and established a correction equation. The dataset of daily air temperature (Tmax, Tmin, and Tavg) in China from 1979 to 2018 was obtained with a spatial resolution of 0.1°. Accuracy verification shows that the dataset has reliable accuracy and high spatial resolution.

In order to improve the accuracy of China's regional agricultural drought monitoring and climate change research, we produced a long-term series of soil moisture products by constructing a time and depth correction model for three soil moisture products with the help of ground observation data. The spatial resolution is improved by building a spatial weight decomposition model, and validation indicates that the new product can meet application needs.

Short summary
It is important to strengthen the continuous monitoring of snow cover as a key indicator of imbalance in the Asian Water Tower (AWT) region. We generate long-term daily gap-free fractional snow cover products over the AWT at 0.005° resolution from 2000 to 2022 based on the multiple-endmember spectral mixture analysis algorithm and the gap-filling algorithm. They can provide highly accurate, quantitative fractional snow cover information for subsequent studies on hydrology and climate.
