متن کاملthe relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext
this study investigates the relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext. technically, field dependency is prevailing dominance of field on perception of parts, while global comprehension is skim-like reading to grasp the general content. in this research project, 60 senior and junior students of arak university majoring in english literature...
15 صفحه اولFrequency and causes of failed MODIS cloud property retrievals for liquid phase clouds over global oceans
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrieves cloud droplet effective radius (re ) and optical thickness (τ) by projecting observed cloud reflectances onto a precomputed look-up table (LUT). When observations fall outside of the LUT, the retrieval is considered "failed" because no combination of τ and re within the LUT can explain the observed cloud reflectances. In this study...
متن کاملPassive Microwave Remote Sensing of Tropical Cyclones
Passive microwave radiometers have a strong heritage of instruments: the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), the Tropical Rainfall Mapping Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI), the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing (AMSR-E) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMI/S). These instruments measure vertically and horizontally polarized brightness temperatures ...
متن کاملClimate and the Tropical Oceans*
An attempt is made to determine the role of the ocean in establishing the mean tropical climate and its sensitivity to radiative perturbations. A simple two-box energy balance model is developed that includes ocean heat transports as an interactive component of the tropical climate system. It is found that changes in the zonal mean ocean heat transport can have a considerable affect on the mean...
