The European Groundwater Directive could be improved by limiting the scopes of the Annexes I and II to the manmade and natural substances, respectively, and by defining a common monitoring protocol. The changes in the European landuse patterns, in particular the urban sprawl phenomena, obscure the distinction between the point and diffuse sources of contamination. In the future more importance ...

Sentinel-1 IWS acquisitions can be used for SAR interferometry. In our contribution the focus is on the S1 IWS InSAR coherence. For this we address in a first part the interferogram generation and coherence estimation. Then in a second part we use data examples to get a first impression on the potential of the S1 IWS InSAR coherence for landuse classification and to monitor temporal change

A survey based on online and face-to face interviews with 104 persons who live in the Tiszazug central part of Great Hungarian Plain. According to answers character landscape here would change dramatically by disappearance oxbow lakes, floodplain forests vineries. The decreasing population aging citizens result intensity landuse, increasing number abandoned buildings attractiveness is spoiled i...

s a tool for analysis and decision making, GIS and remote sensing opened a new horizon for monitor and control of diseases. Information on landuse, water bodies, vegetation, forest cover and others can be used as data sets in GIS for mapping of disease receptivity and identification of risk factors. GIS offers new and expanding opportunities to look into disease epidemiology. Even when used min...

RC1: Anonymous Referee #1 This small note describes a good experimental dataset collected in two contracted landuse areas. The manuscript has to be amended with hypothetical explanation of processes causing the observed multifractal properties. Otherwise it is purely descriptive narrative that does add to science. The recommendations of soil reclamation have to be substantiated with suggestions...

A computationally efficient acoustic ray-tracing code based on unstructured adaptive grids is described in detail. The use of unstructured grids allows wave propagation simulations on complex computational domains. Detailed surface layer physics is included to take into account the atmospheric variability under different stability conditions and landuse inhomogeneities. The ray-tracing model ha...
