Landscape Changes Impact on Regional Hydrology and Climate
Wossenu Abtew,Assefa M. Melesse +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of landscape change and climate change in Africa, China, and the United States is presented for monitoring wetland and dryland landscapes using remote sensing in observation of land cover, surface temperature, and energy partitioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of a shape factor instability index to guide severe weather forecasts for aviation safety
TL;DR: In this article, an instability index called the shape factor (SF) for weather forecasting was proposed using temperature profiles from a NASA/LaRC-hosted web-page featuring NOAA Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) radiosonde data used for short-term weather predictions.

Large and mesoscale meteo-oceanographic patterns in local responses of biogeochemical concentrations.
Marilia Mitidieri Fernandes de Oliveira,Gilberto C. Pereira,Jorge Luiz Fernandes de Oliveira,Nelson F. F. Ebecken +3 more
TL;DR: The spatial and temporal variables analyzed with multivariate approach show meaningful seasonality variance of the physical and biological samples, characterizing the principal components responsible for this variance in spring and summer (upwelling period), emphasizing the monitoring of species as crustaceans and mussels that are present in the local economy.

Optical attenuation measurements in low visibility conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, low visibility events detected in the city of Milan during six consecutive winter months are analyzed in order to compare optical attenuation measurements by two different instruments, i.e., a 319 m laser link operating at 785 nm and a visibility sensor.
