A Multi - Parameter Snow Sounding probe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vertical soundings of the snowpack are essential diagnostic tools for snow hydrologists and avalanche forecasters. Hydrologists require quantitative profiles of snow density from which they can infer the total amount of snow coverage in a region. Because variations in altitude and terrain can result in widely different coverage, they must dig a relatively large number of pits or extract and weigh many core samples to estimate the snow water equivalent from the corresponding average density.

First mesospheric in-situ measurement in Iran using sounding rockets and plasma impedance probe (PIP)
This paper reports on the progress for the first development of rocket probe for in-situ measurement of ionospheric plasma parameters in Iran. The designed probe known as Plasma Impedance Probe (PIP) will be used to measure the electron density, electron-neutral collision frequency, background magnetic field, and temperature in the mesospheric and in the altitude range of 70 km to 150 km. This ...

This paper presents a new microwave snow emissivity model which is empirically derived from satellite retrievals and ground-based measurements. This model produces a variety of snow emissivity spectra at microwave frequencies according to snow types. As part of this model, an algorithm is also developed to classify snow type using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) measurements at 23.8...
متن کاملSimulation of spaceborne microwave radiometer measurements of snow cover from in-situ data and emission models
In this study, spaceborne brightness temperature measurements of snow-covered sparse forest are simulated from a daily data set collected at Sodankylä, Finland during winter 2006-2007. The data set consists of measurement data of soil, snow and air. The atmospheric effects are simulated with two different methods: from measurements near the ground and from balloon-borne radio sounding profiles....
متن کاملInvestigating Parameter Sensitivity for Management in Snow-Driven Watersheds
Recent projections of environmental change have shown possible variation to temperature and precipitation patterns due to climate change. In snowmelt-dominated watersheds, adapting to such environmental changes requires a detailed understanding of hydrological processes in addition to historical snow cover and streamflow data. Snow models are often incorporated as an additional component of hyd...
متن کاملSimultaneous modeling of spectrum, pitch and duration in HMM-based speech synthesis
In this paper, we describe an HMM-based speech synthesis system in which spectrum, pitch and state duration are modeled simultaneously in a unified framework of HMM. In the system, pitch and state duration are modeled by multi-space probability distribution HMMs and multi-dimensional Gaussian distributions, respectively. The distributions for spectral parameter, pitch parameter and the state du...
