In the present work, geophysical model func[ions (GMFs) for altimeter wind speed measurements are described. These GMFs account for an effect of [he actual degree of sea development on the radar cro~ section by utilizing information on the significant wave height. The wind speed mertsurement accuracy achieved (the overall bias 0.1 m/s and the rms error about 1.6 m/s) is higher than the accuracy...

The Space Research Centre in Warsaw is participating the ESA project “Geodetic SAR for Height System Unification and Sea Level Research”. To observe absolute sea level enable unification of height systems, physical heights tide gauge stations referring to a common equipotential surface (quasigeoid/geoid) are needed. This paper describes new quasigeoid model area Baltic sea. calculation was carr...

The propagation of shear waves in an anisotropic fluid saturated porous layer over a prestressed semi-infinite homogeneous elastic half-space lying under an elastic homogeneous layer with irregularity present at the interface with rigid boundary has been studied. The rectangular irregularity has been taken in the half-space. The dispersion equation for shear waves is derived by using the pertur...

The application of seawall deflectors for reflecting inviscid waves into the sea have been well established. Recently, rigid barrier deflectors have been proposed prescriptively for mitigating geophysical landslides, but flow characteristics differ fundamentally from waves and merit investigation. In this study, flume tests were used to calibrate a discrete element model to explore the interact...

Abstract The Philippines is frequently affected by tropical cyclones (TCs), and understanding the flood response of Pampanga River basin (PRB) from TC-induced rain needed in effective disaster risk management. As large uncertainties remain TC forecasting, we propose a simple checklist method for forecasting PRB that depends on general track, season, accumulated rainfall. To this end, events wer...

Growth and productivity of plants are mainly affected by various environmentalfactors in different ecosystems and natural habitat in the world. This research aims to studythe existing relationships between the phytosociology characteristics of Thymuskotschyanus and environmental factors in order to find the most important factorsgoverning development of the species in middle Taleghan rangelands...

Delineation of oxide and sulfide zones in mineral deposits, especially in gold deposits, is one of the most essential steps in an exploration project that has been traditionally carried out using the drilling results. Since in most mineral exploration projects there is a limited drilling dataset, application of geophysical data can reduce the error in delineation of the sulfide and oxide zones....

The Smart Weapons Test Range (SWTR) is a new facility constructed specifically for the development and testing of futuristic intelligent battlefield sensor networks within the Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. In this paper, results are presented for an extensive high-resolution geophysical characterization study at the SWTR site along with validation using 3-D modeling. In this study, severa...
