Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, growing interest in the use of remote sensing imagery has appeared to provide synoptic maps of water quality parameters in coastal and inner water ecosystems;, monitoring of complex land ecosystems for biodiversity conservation; precision agriculture for the management of soils, crops, and pests; urban planning; disaster monitoring, etc. However, for these maps to achieve their full potential, it is important to engage in periodic monitoring and analysis of multi-temporal changes. In this context, very high resolution (VHR) satellite-based optical, infrared, and radar imaging instruments provide reliable information to implement spatially-based conservation actions. Moreover, they enable observations of parameters of our environment at greater broader spatial and finer temporal scales than those allowed through field observation alone. In this sense, recent very high resolution satellite technologies and image processing algorithms present the opportunity to develop quantitative techniques that have the potential to improve upon traditional techniques in terms of cost, mapping fidelity, and objectivity. Typical applications include multi-temporal classification, recognition and tracking of specific patterns, multisensor data fusion, analysis of land/marine ecosystem processes and environment monitoring, etc. This book aims to collect new developments, methodologies, and applications of very high resolution satellite data for remote sensing. The works selected provide to the research community the most recent advances on all aspects of VHR satellite remote sensing.

Download or read book Sea Surface Current Estimates Off Central California as Derived from Enhanced AVHRR Infrared Images written by Chung-Ming Fang and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A technique is presented which uses an interactive computer program to estimate sea surface current velocities from the displacement of sea surface temperature (SST) patterns apparent in enhanced sequential infrared images obtained from the NOAA-6 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. This technique was applied to the surface currents of the California Current System using IR image data from 27 and 28 April 1981. This technique, which uses enhanced pseudocolor gradient imagery, produced more current vectors than an earlier technique develop by O'Hara (1987) which used unenhanced gray scale imagery. The resultant surface vectors agree well in direction but underestimate velocities obtained from Doppler Acoustic Log (DAL) measurements taken during the same period. The two methods produced closest agreement of current velocities of less than 40 cm/sec and with satellite-derived velocities obtained with sequential 12 hour images rather than sequential 24 hour images. Satellite-derived velocities in the rapid flow area (larger than 40 cm/sec) showed poor correspondence to DAL-measured velocities. The strong current shear in these areas may distort the surface SST patterns making identification of features between two images more difficult. The satellite derived surface velocities are assumed to be representative of the velocities of the upper mixed layer, which is usually 10 to 30 m deep in the study region.
Download or read book Comprehensive Remote Sensing written by Shunlin Liang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 3183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Remote Sensing, Nine Volume Set covers all aspects of the topic, with each volume edited by well-known scientists and contributed to by frontier researchers. It is a comprehensive resource that will benefit both students and researchers who want to further their understanding in this discipline. The field of remote sensing has quadrupled in size in the past two decades, and increasingly draws in individuals working in a diverse set of disciplines ranging from geographers, oceanographers, and meteorologists, to physicists and computer scientists. Researchers from a variety of backgrounds are now accessing remote sensing data, creating an urgent need for a one-stop reference work that can comprehensively document the development of remote sensing, from the basic principles, modeling and practical algorithms, to various applications. Fully comprehensive coverage of this rapidly growing discipline, giving readers a detailed overview of all aspects of Remote Sensing principles and applications Contains ‘Layered content’, with each article beginning with the basics and then moving on to more complex concepts Ideal for advanced undergraduates and academic researchers Includes case studies that illustrate the practical application of remote sensing principles, further enhancing understanding

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work addresses the whole range of problems relating to the application of satellite technology to studies of regional seas and sea phenomona - the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshia Current - and coastal zones. It argues that to emphasize global applications is to fail to take into account fundamental idiosyncracies specific to the regional perspective. In addition, it describes implementation techniques - data gathering; in situ data assurance, algorithms for parameter retrieval; data storage; and data output.; The book contains satellite imagery and incorporates case studies from areas such as the Baltic and the Black Sea.

Download or read book Hydrological Modelling in Arid and Semi Arid Areas written by Howard Wheater and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arid and semi-arid regions are defined as areas where water is at its most scarce. The hydrological regime in these areas is extreme and highly variable, and they face great pressures to deliver and manage freshwater resources. However, there is no guidance on the decision support tools that are needed to underpin flood and water resource management in arid areas. UNESCO initiated the Global network for Water and Development Information for arid lands (GWADI), and arranged a workshop of the world's leading experts to discuss these issues. This book presents chapters from contributors to the workshop, and includes case studies from the world's major arid regions to demonstrate model applications, and web links to tutorials and state-of-the-art modelling software. This volume is a valuable reference for researchers and engineers working on the water resources of arid and semi-arid regions.
