Sentinel-2 images at 2-meter resolution using very high-resolution images
Today, very high spatial resolution (VHR) images are more and more available, but either the radiometric quality or the revisit may not be satisfactory for the monitoring of certain phenomena, like agriculture. As a result, Copernicus satellites are often preferred over VHR satellites, with the risk of missing high res...

Differential Rotation on a Sphere (DiRoS): Modelling shear instabilities of planetary atmospheres
The atmospheres of the two gas giant planets in our Solar System exhibit differential rotation, implying that zonal wind speeds at different planetographic latitudes can be markedly different. The formation of distinct zonal jets is a direct consequence of the fast rotation and the quasi-spherical shape of these celest...
