Dr. Engineers, ICONA (Instituto National para la Conservacion de la Naturaleza), Madrid, Spain. Abstract: Management of the fragile and greatly modified ecosystems in the Spanish Mediterranean climate is complex. Rainfall occurs in a few intensive storms on rough topography. Climax vegetation is sparse forest dominated by evergreen xerophilic species. The emphases of the National Institute for ...

Introduction Knowledge of snow parameters is important for climatology, meteorology, hydrology, flood prevention and hydropower industry. Liquid water in a snow pack shows a dominant effect on reflection, absorption and transmission of electromagnetic waves especially in microwave region. Liquid water in snow plays a major role in metamorphism, mechanics and hydrology of snow, and in soil engin...

Active microwave sensors, especially high-frequency radar systems, are highly sensitive to snow pack parameters, including Snow Water Equivalent (SWE), which is a crucial parameter in the studies of hydrology and climatology. For example, studies using Ku-band observations from scatterometer QuickSCAT and POLSCAT have shown significant radar backscattering responses on SWE variations. It has be...

In wetlands, hydrology is a driving factor in all ecological economic interactions. Any attempt at water management for human activities will alter the balance of these interactions, and may threaten sustainable use of wetland resources. The Camargue is an extensive area of wetland (80 000 ha) in the Rhône delta in the South of France, where hydrology has long been influenced by man. The intera...

Since the launch of ENVISAT satellite in 2002, the Radar Altimetry Mission provides systematic altimeter observations of the Earth surface. The ENVISAT Geophysical Data Records products contain, over all type of surfaces, altimeter ranges derived from four specialized retrackers: Ocean, Ice-1, Ice-2 and Sea-Ice retracker. Among the different goals of the ENVISAT Mission, one directly concerns l...

In recent years , tritium (the radioactive isotope of hydrogen) has been increasingly used as a r e search tool in chemistry, physics, biology, meteorology and hydrology. In a variety of investigations, such as the study of biological and metabolic processes, tritium or a chemical compound with tritium as one of the constituents can be used as a tracer. It is also useful in studying the effects...
