Mapping sea surface oil slicks using RADARSAT-2 quad-polarization SAR image
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the conformity coefficient (μ) as a logical scalar descriptor to map oil slicks under low-to-moderate wind conditions, and assessed the proposed method using a RADARSAT-2 quad-polarization SAR image of the Gulf of Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar: A New Potential Measurement Technique for Hurricanes
Biao Zhang,William Perrie +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical C-band cross-polarization ocean (C-2PO) model for wind retrievals from synthetic aperture radar data collected by the RADARSAT-2 satellite is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The economic benefits of rainwater-runoff reduction by urban green spaces: A case study in Beijing, China
TL;DR: The results showed that, 2494 cubic meters of potential runoff was reduced per hectare of green area and a total volume of 154 million cubic meters rainwater was stored in these urban green spaces, which almost corresponds to the annual water needs of the urban ecological landscape in Beijing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem services research in China: Progress and perspective
Biao Zhang,Wenhua Li,Gao-di Xie +2 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of ecosystem services and their economic valuation in China is provided in this paper, where the main objective is to introduce the findings of the various valuation studies, and explore the challenges that emerged in these studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cooling effect of urban green spaces as a contribution to energy-saving and emission-reduction: A case study in Beijing, China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the energy-savings and emission-reduction contribution of urban green spaces in Beijing, applying a empirical model, and showed that green spaces play a major role in reducing energy demand and increasing CO2 sequestration.
