This study proposes a new method for repeated structure detection and the three-dimen-
sional (3D) reconstruction of building façades from mobile lidar data. The results of this
analysis demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively deal with missing areas
caused by occlusion, viewpoint limitation, and uneven point density, as well as realizing
the highly complete 3D reconstruction of a building façade.

A primary Landsat constraint is cloud contamination; to evaluate how increasing Landsat
temporal repeat frequency might achieve weekly cloud-free observations, this case study
examines eastern United States observations. Daily MODIS cloud observations are
examined, using image compositing, to evaluate how increasing Landsat temporal repeat
frequency might reduce weekly Landsat cloud contamination.

A Hierarchical Bayesian Model (HBM) based on Robust Fixed Rank Filter (R-FRF), that
merges MODIS SST with 4-km resolution and AMSR-E SST with 25-km resolution
through their spatiotemporal complementarity to obtain fusion SST with complete
coverage, high spatial resolution, and fine spatial pattern.

To establish a basis for the utilization of lidar topography as a data source for coastal
geomorphological analyses, this study generated statistical metrics of lidar error through
the comparison of a June 2014 USGS collection of airborne lidar with a concurrently
collected high-accuracy GPS topographical survey collected within the beach and dunes
of a portion of Fire Island National Seashore.

We monitored the spatio-temporal distribution of urban population-weighted ozone for
2014–2017 to investigate ground-level pollution in China.
