A parametric algorithm is presented to estimate two-dimensional ocean wave spectra from ENVISAT ASAR wave mode data on a global scale. The retrieval scheme makes use of prior information taken from numerical wave models. The Partition Rescale and Shift algorithm (PARSA) is based on a partitioning technique, which splits an a priori wave spectrum into its wave system components. Integral paramet...

Two-dimensional ocean wave spectra are measured from ENVISAT ASAR wave mode cross spectra on a global scale. The measurement is performed using a parametric retrieval scheme, which makes use of prior information taken from numerical wave models. The Partition Rescale and Shift algorithm (PARSA) is based on a partitioning technique, which splits an a prior wave spectrum into its wave system comp...

The parameters such as temperature, PH, TSS, TDS, ammonia, phenol, cyanide, sulfide, oil and grease, chloride, DO, COD and BOD were taken to assess the water quality of Sirsiya river, central southern Nepal. Water samples were collected from upstream to downstream from the point receiving industrial effluent to Sirsiya river. It receives wastewater burden of more than 250 industries along Bara/...

Un docente di liceo, che si descrive come “lombardo origine e sempre vissuto in Lombardia” segnala essersi accorto con sorpresa del fatto la parola cala, nel significato ‘spazzaneve’, non è nota al fuori della Regione. Vale pena riportare quasi per intero sua formulazione: “Stupito perché trentacinque anni mi era parsa una italiana standard, ho cercato notizie [...]; trovato solo due articoli r...
