Precipitation retrieval from space: An overview Estimation des précipitations depuis l’espace : une revue
نویسنده
چکیده
During the last decade, satellite observations have allowed significant advances in quantifying precipitation, especially with the contribution of the TRMM mission. Observations at different wavelengths (visible, infrared, and microwaves), in both active and passivemicrowavemodes, are analyzed, and eventually coupled to produce records of precipitation estimates over the globe, with up to hourly time sampling. This article provides an overview of the techniques, the results and the perspectives. ! 2010 Académie des sciences. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Some Remarks on Sampling Methods in Molecular Dynamics
We present an overview of sampling techniques in molecular dynamics. We start with phase-space sampling techniques, and recall that deterministic methods may suffer from non-ergodicity problems. Then, we focus on methods relying on stochastic perturbations of the usual Hamiltonian dynamics. We also consider the problem of free energy computations, where the measure to sample is supported by a s...
متن کاملPrise de décision en temps-réel pour des POMDP de grande taille
RÉSUMÉ. Cet article présente une méthode d’approximation pour les processus décisionnels de Markov partiellement observables (POMDP) qui est basée sur une recherche en profondeur pour la planification dans un environnement temps-réel dynamique. L’idée de base de notre approche, appelée RTBSS (Real-Time Belief Space Search), est d’éviter de calculer des politiques complètes pour des POMDPs. Cett...
متن کاملA Complex Hyperbolic Structure for Moduli of Cubic Surfaces
We show that the moduli space M of marked cubic surfaces is biholomorphic to (B −H)/Γ0 where B is complex hyperbolic four-space, where Γ0 is a specific group generated by complex reflections, and where H is the union of reflection hyperplanes for Γ0. Thus M has a complex hyperbolic structure, i.e., an (incomplete) metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. Une structure hyperbolique co...

Résumé— Cet article traite le problème de l’optimisation des requêtes par intervalles, qui jouent un rôle important dans le domaine des bases de données multidimensionnelles (entrepôts de données, Systèmes d’information Géographique). Les techniques classiques teltes que les Grid Files, les R-trees, les R*-trees, ... reposent sur une partition de l’espace de données selon plusieurs axes, ce qui...
متن کاملSpecial Cases of the Parking Functions Conjecture and Upper-Triangular Matrices
We examine the q = 1 and t = 0 special cases of the parking functions conjecture. The parking functions conjecture states that the Hilbert series for the space of diagonal harmonics is equal to the bivariate generating function of area and dinv over the set of parking functions. Haglund recently proved that the Hilbert series for the space of diagonal harmonics is equal to a bivariate generatin...
