The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission being considered by NASA has, as one of its main objectives, to measure ocean topography with centimeter scale accuracy over kilometer scale spatial resolution. This paper investigates the impact of ocean waves on SWOT’s projected performance. Several effects will be examined: volumetric decorrelation, aliasing of ocean waves, backscattering...

The objective in this work is to develop downscalingmethodologies to obtain a long time record of inundation extent at high spatial resolution based on the existing low spatial resolution results of the Global Inundation Extent fromMulti-Satellites (GIEMS) dataset. In semiarid regions, high-spatial-resolution a priori information can be provided by visible and infrared observations from theMode...

abstract the objectives of this study were to identify the strengths (s), weaknesses (w), opportunities (o) and threats (t) in producing milk in the province of sistan and baluchestan . furthermore, the study attempted at developing strategies towards effective management of in the milk production. under the current situation, the study data was collected using questionnaires responded by three...

In the recent past, sustainable development has been considered a major issue for urban and regional studies. Adaptive reuse appears to be practical solution development. Beyond in addition conceptual base consistent with circular economy sustainability principles, how do we know if adaptive is actually sustainable, provided that it constitutes multidisciplinary multilevel process? The present ...

The principal instrument of the SWOT mission is KaRIn, a Ka-band interferometric SAR system operating on two near nadir swaths on opposite sides of the satellite track. This article describes the specificities of images from such a SAR system as compared to images acquired by conventional spaceborne SAR systems. Both radiometric and geometric aspects are covered.
