Qunatitative Precipitation Forecasting Using Cloud-based Techniques on Avhrr Data
Tri-yearly recurrence of flooding in Malaysia has made floods the most important significant natural disaster in the country in terms of cost and damage to property. Many hydrological and hydraulic flood models have been implemented but are yet to meet the requirement of a near real-time flood forecasting. This study envisage the “Nowcasting System” through the operational coupling of quantitat...
متن کاملSampling for Airborne Radioactivity
This report examines how to sample airborne radioactivity with minimal complexity and time expenditure, using conventional high-volume samplers in combination with alpha-particle spectrometry. The use of alpha spectrometry provides compensation for radon/thoron decay products collected on the filter paper of the sampler, leading to a seven-fold improvement in measurement sensitivity of artifici...
متن کاملSampling For Airborne Radioactivity
As the nation's industrial complex grows, one of its attendant evils—environmental pollution—grows apace. Perhaps no segment of this complex grows more rapidly at present than the atomic energy industry. Responsible officials are gradually becoming aware of the potential for pollution of this new giant. The problem is complicated by security requirements and by virtue of the inability to sense ...
متن کاملCloud radar observations of precipitation
An innovative method for the observation of vertical air motion and raindrop size distribution in precipitation using a 94-GHz Doppler radar is demonstrated in this paper. The method is particularly appealing since it is based on fundamental physics, the scattering of microwave radiation by large particles (Mie scattering). Observations from stratiform rain are presented to illustrate the poten...
متن کاملAirborne environmental endotoxin: a cross-validation of sampling and analysis techniques.
A standard method for measurement of airborne environmental endotoxin was developed and field tested in a fiberglass insulation-manufacturing facility. This method involved sampling with a capillary-pore membrane filter, extraction in buffer using a sonication bath, and analysis by the kinetic-Limulus assay with resistant-parallel-line estimation (KLARE). Cross-validation of the extraction and ...
