Remote sensing of a near-Earth neutral line during the 5 October 2000 substorm

In this paper we examined the continuous motions of a near-Earth neutral line during the recovery phase of the 5 October 2000 substorm. Estimation was based on the PSBL ion beam model proposed by Onsager (1991) and the Geotail observations. Estimated distances from the Earth ranged from 20 to 60 RE and retreated tailward at velocities of 250 and 300 km/s. This event initiated with the arrival o...

Near Remote Sensing for Tactical Earth Protection

In this paper we present how to use an Unmanned Aerial System in remote sensing. The system is specifically designed for forest fire management, as a support tool for the Fire Services to improve their tactical decisions. The system payload includes two cameras: a thermal camera and a visual camera. A simple image processing algorithm is applied to the thermal images in order to detect hot area...

Visible/near-infrared Remote Sensing of Earth from the Moon

Introduction: The overall utility of a visible/nearinfrared (0.3-3 μm) hyperspectral instrument viewing the Earth from a lunar base depends on the specific requirements of science goals. Here we provide an overview of several science objectives of Moon-based terrestrial remote sensing and discuss constraints on how relevant parameters such as spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution affect th...

Remote Sensing of Earth Terrain

The objective of this research is to develop theoretical models that are useful and practical in the remdte sensing of the earth environmect including the earth terrain, the lower and the upper atmospheres. We have been very successful in developing various models applicable to the microwave remote sensing of vegetation, snow-ice, m d atmospheric precipitation. We shall extend such studies to t...
