Performance of Meris Products in Lake Victoria
The newly finished ESA project MERIS Lakes included activity in Lake Victoria to show the potensial for monitoring this eutrophic African Lake. In this study an evaluation of how different processors perform in Lake Victoria. Lack of proper validation data makes it only possible to have a preliminary assessment of the performance of the product algal_2, suspended material and the signal depth, ...
متن کاملFormation of patterned ground and sublimation till over Miocene glacier ice in Beacon Valley, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
A thin glacial diamicton, informally termed Granite drift, occupies the floor of central Beacon Valley in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. This drift is ,1.0 m thick and rests with sharp planar contacts on stagnant glacier ice reportedly of Miocene age, older than 8.1 Ma. The age of the ice is based on 40Ar/39Ar analyses of presumed in situ ash-fall deposits that occur within Granite drift. ...
متن کاملThe water balance of Lake Victoria
This paper presents new calculations of Lake Victoria's water balance. Evaporation is estimated using both the Penman formula and the energy balance approach, and sensitivity studies are performed to determine the influence of input data on the estimates. Rainfall over the lake is estimated from catchment rainfall using a relationship between the two that was derived using satellite data. The r...
متن کاملHazardous thunderstorm intensification over Lake Victoria
Weather extremes have harmful impacts on communities around Lake Victoria, where thousands of fishermen die every year because of intense night-time thunderstorms. Yet how these thunderstorms will evolve in a future warmer climate is still unknown. Here we show that Lake Victoria is projected to be a hotspot of future extreme precipitation intensification by using new satellite-based observatio...
متن کاملLimnological conditions in Subglacial Lake Vostok, Antarctica
Subglacial Lake Vostok is located ,4 km beneath the surface of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and has been isolated from the atmosphere for .15 million yr. Concerns for environmental protection have prevented direct sampling of the lake water thus far. However, an ice core has been retrieved from above the lake in which the bottom ,85 m represents lake water that has accreted (i.e., frozen) to th...
