Erratum: MAGIS-100 environmental characterization and noise analysis

Noise an Environmental Pollutant

The harmful effect of the noise on human health has been known for many decades and it's first harmful effect on the hearing came to be known in the year 1831. According to the nature of the work, this di- sease was called Boiler Maker's deafness.  Noise due to the industrial machineries is one of the main cause of Environmental Poliution, and among the different industreis, Textile industry i...

Statistical characterization of Geosat altimetry noise: Dependence on environmental parameters

[1] Sea surface height (SSH) measurements from the Geosat satellite altimetry mission are analyzed to statistically characterize their noise process, which is defined here as the small-scale (<50 km), timevarying component of the altimetry data. This analysis is one component of a larger effort to extract meaningful information about seafloor roughness from the small-scale fabric of the altimet...

ERRATUM: Enhanced Adaptive Management: Integrating Decision Analysis, Scenario Analysis and Environmental Modeling for the Everglades

We propose to enhance existing adaptive management efforts with a decision-analytical approach that can guide the initial selection of robust restoration alternative plans and inform the need to adjust these alternatives in the course of action based on continuously acquired monitoring information and changing stakeholder values. We demonstrate an application of enhanced adaptive management for...

Environmental noise, sleep and health.

Unlike other physical ambient factors (i.e. electromagnetic fields or air pollutants), noise is perceived by a specific system (auditory system) in humans. It is therefore a phenomenon that is sensed and evaluated by everybody, and this is why exposure to noise is one of the most, if not the most, frequent complaints of populations living in large cities. In these areas and their surroundings, ...
