Visual Comparison of Moving-Window Kriging Models

Kriging is a spatial prediction method, which can predict at any location and return a measure of prediction confidence (the kriging standard error). There exist many variations of kriging, some of which can be complex, especially those that allow many of its parameters to vary spatially. To calibrate such a kriging model and to be able to interpret its results can therefore be quite daunting. ...

The Inclination Window for Low Earth Sun Synchronized Satellite Orbits

Generally, circular orbits of satellites are categorized as Geosynchronous Earth Orbits (GEO), Medium Earth Orbits (MEO) and Low Earth Orbits (LEO). The main difference between them is their attitude above the Earth’s surface (Richharia, 1999; Roddy, 2006; Maral and Bousquet, 2002). The Sun synchronization feature is typical for LEOs. Sun synchronized low Earth orbits have a very wide applicati...

Dust source mapping using satellite imagery and machine learning models

Predicting dust sources area and determining the affecting factors is necessary in order to prioritize management and practice deal with desertification due to wind erosion in arid areas. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the application of three machine learning models (including generalized linear model, artificial neural network, random forest) to predict the vulnerability of dust cent...
