Reflectance of the Earth surface is one of the major natural components affecting climate. Surface interaction with incoming solar radiation and the atmosphere has a substantial impact on the Earth’s energy budget. Moreover, the accurate description of the surface reflection is crucial for different atmospheric studies including aerosol and trace gases ...
The current project intends to use the heritage of the CAWA project as well as the recent advancements realized within the GRASP-Open software package to establish and extend the concept for generating synergy MERIS+AATSR ...
The 3DREAMS project presents the concept of a 3D radiative Digital Twin Earth (DTE) and how it can be used to understand the effects of surface heterogeneities on aerosol retrieval from multi-angular observations. A series of realistic scenes will be generated and used by the Eradiate radiative transfer (RT) model for the simulation of satellite observations. The impact of various types of ...
Atmospheric aerosol is one of the main drivers of climate changes. Importance of accurate global aerosol characterization for climate studies and air pollution monitoring is a well recognized problem (e.g., see IPCC AR5 by Boucher et al.2013). In addition to the traditional spectral Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) such characterization should also include such extended aerosol information asaerosol ...
OPERA-S5 (OPEn platform for the Retrieval of Aerosol and CO2 from S5) includes two main objectives: the development of Open-Source Community Full-Physics XCO2 Retrieval Algorithm for Sentinel 5, and the demonstration of the developed algorithm by investigating the uncertainty characterization of CO2 and CH4 retrievals in the context of the challenging CO2M requirements using the proxy combination ...
Abstract: LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method used to examine the surface of the Earth. It employs laser light to measure distances to the Earth’s surface, generating precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of the Earth and its surface characteristics. ...
Microscopic Analysis Microscopic analysis involves the use of a microscope to examine water samples for the presence of algae, fungi, and other microscopic organisms. This method is useful in identifying potential sources of pollution and determining the appropriate treatment methods. 5. Remote Sensing Remote ...
Remote sensing, however, has been recognized as a valuable tool in studying algal blooms due to its large-scale applicability, real-time data collection, and long-term monitoring capabilities. Despite its limitations in spatial, spectral, and temporal coverages, remote sensing is widely accepted by researchers and environmental ...
GPS: GPS provides location and time information anywhere on earth. This method gives rapid and feasible measurements. But this method has a drawback that data would be missing for fields located in the remote areas and data could be affected due to weather conditions. ...

This study provides new evidence on the effectiveness of a combined remote sensing and hydrogeological investigation method for deep groundwater development in complex geologic and geomorphologic situations in Ethiopia. ...
TERRA will receive $30 million to support six projects with the goal of improving sorghum varieties for biofuel production by developing improved plant remote sensing, analysis, and breeding methods. The six project teams will identify limitations with the physical and genetic characteristics of the plant, and will create advanced algorithms to ...
This study aims to determine forest sites using direct, indirect and remote sensing (RS) methods (Landsat 7 ETM+ and IKONOS images) for Ardahan-Yalnızçam Forest of 12149.23 ha with 63 sample plots (1637,8 ha). Four different forest site classes of dry, moderate fresh, fresh and moist were determined in direct method ...
The effect of land use/land cover (LU/LC) changes on runoff from watersheds has long been recognised. Remote sensing (RS) and GIS techniques can be used effectively in watershed runoff models. ...
Methods by remote sensing techniques were developed to locate potential jökulhlaup lakes and to assess the volume of water discharged. ...
In addition, governments routinely conduct household and income expenditure surveys which could be modified to assess the success of efforts to increase the proportion of tuna in the catch of coastal communities. Simple methods for collecting remotely-sensed data, and ground-truthing this information, also have a role to play in separating the ...

These kinds of observation are relevant to satellite ground truthing and perfecting interpretation methods of microwave remote sensing data. Flood and drought forecasting is another important role the SCAN program serves. ...
Issues addressed in this report include: the fate of aquatic perched basins within the Peace-Athabasca Delta under historical and future climate trends; the sources of major floods that replenish these basins and how the frequency, magnitude and source areas of such events have changed over time; the synoptic weather patterns and atmospheric teleconnections that are responsible for the generation ...
Using two scanning lidars increases the range of parameters that can be sensed remotely. Scanned Dual Doppler lidar provides a novel remote sensing method for studying the rural-urban interface. ...
