Near-real time estimates of biomass burning emissions are important for air quality monitoring and forecasting. We present here the preliminary analysis of global biomass burning emission product (GBBEP) produced from geostationary-satellite-derived fire radiative power (FRP) in near-real time. Specifically, the FRP is retrieved at an interval of 15 to 30 minutes using WF_ABBA_V65 (Wildfire Aut...

Better insights into bird migration can be a tool for assessing the spread of avian borne infections or ecological/climatologic issues reflected in deviating migration patterns. This paper evaluates whether low budget permanent cameras such as webcams can offer a valuable contribution to the reporting of migratory birds. An experimental design was set up to study the detection capability using ...

The glacier is important factor in climatologic and hydrological investigations. The remote sensing plays an important role on glacier inventorying and monitoring work. SAR systems have an important ability to observe the earth’s surface, independent of cloud conditions. Particularly, the SAR interferometry and polarization provide a useful tool for glacier investigation, such as extraction of ...

Methods This is a prospective, multicenter, triple blinded, randomized study in which the in vivo extract potency was determined, based on the wheal size obtained in TIM allergic patients. The four tested TIM extracts were: Soluprick, Staloral 300IR, and Grazax and Oralair 300IR dissolved in 1mL 50% glycerin (under GMP standards). The SPTs were carried out in quadruplicate with the concentrate ...

The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is used to simulate the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) over 2011–2020 winter. 45 day hindcasts are made with 30 km horizontal resolution and constructed a time-lagged ensemble system. climatology, major modes of EAWM variability, blocking activities examined. evaluation results reveal that MPAS can climatologic characteristics reasonably, surface ...

[1] To determine the location of the potential dust source regions and to evaluate the dust emission frequencies over the arid and semiarid areas of China and Mongolia (35.5 N–47 N; 73 E–125 E), we established a map of Z0 from the composition of protrusion coefficient (PC) derived from the POLDER-1 bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Using a =4 =4 resolution Z0 data set, we ...

Blueberries are a type of vegetation with spectral signatures similar to that of forest and grass. Due to their size, they are difficult to distinguish when intermingled with tall grass. Blueberries are grown in the vicinity of evergreen forests to shield them from the wind and save them from freezing. It is also difficult to distinguish blueberries from forest by normal classification methods....
