Present research paper is an attempt to examine the dynamics of snow cover by using Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) in Gori Ganga watershed, Kumaun Himalaya, Uttarakhand (India). For study Landsat satellite imageries three different time periods like TM 1990, 1999 and 2016 were used. Geographical distribution reveals that 1990 about 30.97% (678.87 km2), 25.77% (564.92 km2) area watershe...

This study presents the first data on benthic marine litter in Marmara Sea, Turkey. To obtain data, bottom trawl surveys were conducted at 34 sites between May 2017 and February 2018. The items sampled sorted following MEDITS’ relevant instructions. 660 pieces of litter, weighing 434.9 kg, sampled. density was found to range 27.5 n/km2 661.2 n/km2, averaging 73.9 obtained items’ weights ranged ...

DWSM, the dynamic watershed simulation model, was expanded with a subsurface and a reservoir flow routing schemes. The hydrology and sediment components of the model were applied to three agricultural watersheds in Illinois, Big Ditch (100 km2), Court Creek (250 km2), and Upper Sangamon River (2,400 km2), to simulate spatially and temporally varying surface and subsurface storm water runoff, pr...

We use the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface macroscale hydrology model driven by observed maximum and minimum air temperatures and precipitation to map daily soil moisture values over China for the period 1 January 1971 to 31 July 2005. The model is applied over a grid of 10 458 points with a resolution of 30 km × 30 km. The model is first calibrated using observed hydrographs ...

The concentration, type, and extent of sea ice in the Arctic can be estimated based on measurements from satellite active microwave sensors, passive microwave sensors, or both. Here, data from the Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) are employed to broadly classify Arctic sea ice type as first-year (FY) or multiyear (MY). Combining data from bo...
