Plastics originating from land are mainly transported to the oceans by rivers. The total plastic transport seas remains uncertain because of difficulties in measuring and lack standard observation techniques. A large focus observations is on plastics floating water surface. However, an increasing number suggest that quantities suspension, below Available underwater monitoring methods use nets o...

The Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) on the IMAGE mission operates like a radar by transmitting and receiving coherent electromagnetic pulses. The RPI is designed to receive mirror-like (specular) reflections and coherent scatter returns. Long-range echoes of electromagnetic sounder waves are reflected at remote plasma cutoffs. Thus, analyses of RPI observations will yield the plasma parameters and di...
