Comparison of Measurements from Satellite Radiation Budget Instruments
Successive radiometers have been flown on spacecraft for measurement of the radiation budget of the Earth and to date have provided data sets which overlap in time over a 25-year period. In this paper we compile these results in order to demonstrate the traceability of calibration of satellite radiation budget instruments over these two decades. From this compilation the differences can be comp...
متن کاملThe urban heat budget derived from satellite data
In Central Europe up to 85% of the population lives in cities or urban agglomerations (United Nations 2000). This makes the urban climate and its anthropogenic modifications an important issue for planners, scientists and policy makers. The urban climate differs completely from that of rural or forested areas. Since urban surfaces are extremely heterogeneous the interaction with the urban bound...
متن کاملRecent shift from forest to savanna burning in the Amazon Basin observed by satellite
The numbers of fires detected on forest, savanna and transition lands during the 2002–10 biomass burning seasons in Amazonia are shown using fire count data and co-located land cover classifications from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The ratio of forest fires to savanna fires has varied substantially over the study period, with a maximum ratio of 0.65:1 in 2005 and ...
متن کامل3D Modeling of satellite spectral images, radiation budget and energy budget of urban landscapes
16 DART EB is a model that is being developed for simulating 17 the 3D (3 dimensional) energy budget of urban and natural 18 scenes, possibly with topography and atmosphere. It simu19 lates all non radiative energy mechanisms (heat conduction, 20 turbulent momentum and heat fluxes, water reservoir evo21 lution, etc.). It uses DART model (Discrete Anisotropic 22 Radiative Transfer) for simulatin...
متن کاملEconomic Development and Forest Cover: Evidence from Satellite Data
Ongoing deforestation is a pressing, global environmental issue with direct impacts on climate change, carbon emissions, and biodiversity. There is an intuitive link between economic development and overexploitation of natural resources including forests, but this relationship has proven difficult to establish empirically due to both inadequate data and convoluting geo-climactic factors. In thi...
