Introduction: The Role of Methane Measurement in Combating Climate Change Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential (GWP) significantly higher than carbon dioxide. It is a key contributor to climate change, responsible for nearly half of the global temperature increase observed so far. While methane dissipates more quickly from the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, its ...
Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a significant contributor to global climate change, and understanding how to measure them accurately is crucial for addressing their impact. Whether from natural processes or human activities, monitoring CO2 emissions is necessary to mitigate their effect on our environment. This article will explore various methods, tools, and techniques to ...
Precision agriculture (PA) is the use of advanced technologies to optimize field-level management. By leveraging data analytics, GPS, IoT, and various sensors, precision agriculture enables agronomists to make informed decisions, thereby enhancing crop yield and resource efficiency. This modern approach contrasts with traditional farming methods by emphasizing precision in monitoring, managing, ...
A VENTUS X ultrasonic wind sensor has been deployed by researchers at the Summit Station on the Greenland Ice Sheet in the Arctic, 10,000 feet above sea level, as part of a project investigating the role of aerosols in cloud formation. With integrated heaters and no moving parts, the wind sensor does not require recalibration – a vital feature of equipment ...
I wondered: Is a weather station without measuring the sunshine duration sufficient? And would an additional to ground frost sensor make sense? My decision was made: I wanted to expand the station! ...
Knowledge of solar radiation at the ground surface is valuable for many disciplines. In this study, ground–based sensors at Fortuna and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, were used to calibrate daily–integrated satellite–derived solar radiation. ...
Ground-based active (self-illuminating) sensors make it possible to collect canopy data that are useful for making on-the-go N fertilizer application decisions. ...
This study examines the relationship between EONR and reflectance from a ground-based sensor, and considers its potential for developing sidedress N recommendations for corn. ...
The objectives of this study were to (i) estimate herbage mass using an active, on-the-go, ground-based, narrow band sensor to calculate the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), (ii) determine if NDVI may be used to assess spatial variability of herbage mass of grasslands, and (iii) determine if NDVI may be used to evaluate management ...
