THERMAL MODEL CORRELATION OF A GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE

Tcp Performance in a Geostationary Satellite Environment

Geostationary satellite links have characteristics that can degrade the performance of TCP. The propagation time for a geostationary satellite link is on the order of 0.25 seconds. Thus a satellite can add approximately 0.5 seconds to the round trip time experienced by a TCP packet and the corresponding acknowledgement. This delay time is the primary cause of TCP inefficiency over satellites. T...

Direct Fusion of Geostationary Meteorological Satellite Visible and Infrared Images Based on Thermal Physical Properties

This study investigated a novel method of fusing visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) images with the major objective of obtaining higher-resolution IR images. Most existing image fusion methods focus only on visual performance and many fail to consider the thermal physical properties of the IR images, leading to spectral distortion in the fused image. In this study, we use the IR thermal physical p...

Wind Estimation from Geostationary-satellite Pictures

The motion of properly selected clouds derived from photographs taken by the geostationary Advanced Technology Satellites provides estimates of the wind a t cloud level. A large number of lowand high-cloud motions near rawin stations are compared to the balloon-derived winds to determine the levels at which these wind estimates might be used for map analyses and to assess their accuracy a t tho...

Thermal Physical Property-Based Fusion of Geostationary Meteorological Satellite Visible and Infrared Channel Images

Geostationary meteorological satellite infrared (IR) channel data contain important spectral information for meteorological research and applications, but their spatial resolution is relatively low. The objective of this study is to obtain higher-resolution IR images. One common method of increasing resolution fuses the IR data with high-resolution visible (VIS) channel data. However, most exis...

Analytical method for determining the statistics of interference between non-geostationary-satellite orbit fixed-satellite service systems and other non-geostationary-satellite orbit fixed-satellite service systems or geostationary-satellite orbit fixed-satellite service networks
