The FWI-tel instantaneous is a system for computing a forest fire risk index; it elaborates instantaneous weather maps to evaluate fire risk indicator on alpine regions. This system is based on the previsional Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) adjusted for continental Europe latitudes and climatology and adapted to alpine regions orography. FWI is a meteorological index, which uses as input dat...

We provide here tables of stellar limb-darkening coefficients (LDCs) for the Ariel ESA M4 space mission. These include LDCs corresponding to different wavelength bins and white bands NIRSpec, AIRS-Ch0 AIRS-Ch1 spectrographs, those VISPhot, FGS1 FGS2 photometers. The are calculated with open-source software ExoTETHyS three complete grids atmosphere models obtained ATLAS9 PHOENIX codes. model com...

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument onboard the NASA Aqua satellite is used to observe aurora associated with CO2 4.26 μm emission. These observations are due non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) resulting from vibrational excitation of CO2, which arises in process auroral energetic particle precipitation, as opposed dayside NLTE occurring solar radiation. confirmed be usin...

Many exponentially-hard problems can be solved by searching through a space of states to determine a sequence of steps constituting a solution. Algorithms that produce optimal solutions (e.g., shortest path) generally require greater computational resources (e.g., time) than their sub-optimal counterparts. Consequently, many optimal algorithms cannot produce any usable solution when the amount ...

This thesis examines the use of immunological metaphors in building serial,parallel, and distributed learning algorithms. It offers a basic study in thedevelopment of biologically-inspired algorithms which merge inspiration frombiology with known, standard computing technology to examine robust methodsof computing. This thesis begins by detailing key interactions found within th...

[2] Although it was designed for high resolution/accurate temperature and moisture profiles, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Earth-Observing System (NASAEOS) Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is capable of measuring variations in carbon trace gases such as CO2 [Chédin et al., 2003; Crevoisier et al., 2003; Engelen and Stephens, 2004; Aumann et al., 2005]. This capability cou...
