Evaluation of Seasonal Cycles of Hydrological Processes in Japan Meteorological Agency Land Data Analysis

The present study evaluates the reproducibility of the climatological seasonal cycles of three hydrological variables, soil moisture, river discharge and terrestrial water storage in the Japan Meteorological Agency Land Data Analysis (LDA) by means of a system consisting of the LDA and a global river-routing model (LDAG). LDAG satisfactorily reproduces the seasonal cycle of soil moisture at mos...

Meteorological Observations

iri the subject in other places would do so also. Jessore, as the reputed birthplace of cholera, and a place almost proverbially of bad repute in a sanitary sense, would, I thought, afford an excellent opportunity of studying meteorological conditions with special reference to the causation of disease, and constitute, even more than Calcutta, a type of the climate of the delta of the Ganges. Ha...

Compression of Spectral Meteorological

Data compression is essential to current low-earth-orbit spectral sensors with global coverage, e.g. meteorological sensors. Such sensors routinely produce in excess of 30 Gb of data per orbit ( over 4 Mb/s for about 110 min. ) while typically limited to less than 10 Gb of downlink capacity per orbit ( 15 minutes at 10 Mb/s ). Astro-Space Division develops spaceborne compression systems for com...
