Detecting subsurface phytoplankton layer in Qiandao Lake using shipborne lidar

Observations of Wind Profile of Marine Atmosphere Boundary Layer by Shipborne Coherent Doppler Lidar

Pulsed Coherent Doppler Lidar (CDL) system is so good as to prove the feasibility of the marine atmosphere boundary layer detection. A ship-mounted Coherent Doppler lidar was used to measure the wind profile and vertical velocity in the boundary layer over the Yellow sea in 2014. Furthermore, for the purpose of reducing the impact of vibration during movement and correcting the LOS velocity, th...

Assessment of Reservoir Water Quality Using Multivariate Statistical Techniques: A Case Study of Qiandao Lake, China

Qiandao Lake (Xin’an Jiang reservoir) plays a significant role in drinking water supply for eastern China, and it is an attractive tourist destination. Three multivariate statistical methods were comprehensively applied to assess the spatial and temporal variations in water quality as well as potential pollution sources in Qiandao Lake. Data sets of nine parameters from 12 monitoring sites duri...

Phytoplankton Community of Lake Gbedikere

ABSTRACT The study on the Physico-Chemical characteristics and Phytoplanktons of Lake Gbedikere was carried out between June and December, 2008. The study showed notable seasonal variation in the component investigated. Temperature seemed a major determinant of the composition, abundance and seasonal variation of encountered lake biota. During the study four (4) taxa of Phytoplankton existed in...

Detecting Change in Burnt Landscapes using a Terrestrial LiDAR System

A Terrestrial LiDAR system or Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) was used to detect changes in burnt landscapes. Since wildfires are a common occurrence in the Australian landscape, prescribed burns are routinely carried out by land management agencies and government departments. These prescribed burns reduce the fuel load which decreases the severity of subsequent unplanned wildfires. Recent adva...
