TL;DR: This article presents a review on the platform design, dynamic modeling and control of hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a newer type of UAV that integrates the beneficial features of both conventional ones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare and contrast EF estimates from AVHRR and MODIS sensors over South Florida, and show that the proposed EF estimation is relatively insensitive to changes in absolute values of T0, induced by local atmospheric conditions and sensor viewing angles, and EF is primarily determined by the overall contextual space of NDVI-T0 diagram.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new formulation to derive evaporative fraction (EF) and evapotranspiration (ET) maps from remotely sensed data without auxiliary relationships or site-specific relationships.

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved version of the force-restore method is developed by minimizing the error produced by the forcerestore approximation of the heat diffusion equation, which performs well for the physically realistic ranges of scaled soil thickness and reproduces amplitude and phase that are quite close to the exact solution of the diffusion equation under a single periodic forcing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is constructed by creating a multidimensional phase space map from observed ozone concentrations, and predictions are made by examining trajectories on a reconstructed phase space that applies to hourly ozone time series from the Cincinnati area.
