Drought is considered as one of the critical abiotic stresses affecting growth and productivity upland rice. Advanced rapid identification drought-tolerant high-yielding genotypes in comparison to conventional rice breeding trials assessments can play a decisive role tackling climate-change-associated drought events. This study has endeavored explore potential CERES–Rice model decision support ...

This paper presents an overview of the CERES project. It demonstrates how algorithm improvements have lead to improved top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative flux accuracy. CERES shortwave flux anomalies are compared with those from Earthshine and ISCCP-FD. OCIS codes: (010.1310) Atmospheric scattering

[1] Using broadband shortwave radiance measurements from the Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System (CERES) sensors onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites, empirical angular distribution models (EADM) are constructed for smoke aerosols. These EADMs are constructed for smoke aerosols emitted during the biomass burning season (August‐October), in South America. All available years (2000–2008) of b...

Ceres Sementes do Brasil, Ltda is an affiliate of Ceres, Inc, founded in 1996 with headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California, USA, focused on development and marketing of non-food grasses for advanced biofuels and biopower with the aim of providing new opportunities for growers and a cleaner environment for us all. In 2009, Ceres Inc. founded its first Brazilian affiliate in São Paulo and initi...

The Dwarf Planet Ceres revealed the presence of ammonia and other unique properties compared to asteroids in main belt which suggests that it was not formed situ.

Low-albedo asteroids preserve a record of the primordial solar system planetesimals and conditions in which nebula was active. However, origin evolution these are not well-constrained. Here we measured visible near-infrared (0.5 - 4.0 microns) spectra low-albedo mid-outer main belt. We show that numerous large (d > 100 km) dark (geometric albedo < 0.09) exterior to dwarf planet Ceres' orbit sha...

This study introduces new CERES Angular Distribution Models (ADMs) for estimating shortwave, longwave and window top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes from broadband radiance measurements. By combining CERES measurements with narrowband, high-resolution imager measurements, up to a factor 4 improvement in TOA flux accuracy is achieved compared to TOA flux estimates from previous experiments, such ...
