Evapotranspiration (ET) plays an important role in global climate dynamics and in primary production of terrestrial ecosystems; it represents the mass and energy transfer from the land to atmosphere. Limitations to measuring ET at large scales using ground-based methods have motivated the development of satellite remote sensing techniques. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the accuracy of...

Mineral dust emission accounts for a substantial portion of particles present in the troposphere. It is emitted mostly from desert areas, mainly through intense storm episodes. The aim of this work was to quantify sizesegregated fluxes of mineral dust particles emitted during storm events occurring in desert areas of northern China (Alashan desert, Inner Mongolia), known to act as one of the st...

This paper presents a novel statistical information fusion method to integrate multiple-view sensor data in multi-object tracking applications. The proposed method overcomes the drawbacks of the commonly used Generalized Covariance Intersection method, which considers constant weights allocated for sensors. Our method is based on enhancing the Generalized Covariance Intersection with adaptive w...

Let HI (resp., HZ) be a real and separable Hilbert space with Borel a-field f 1 (resp., f 2), and let (HIXH Z ' f 1 x f 2) be the product measurable space generated by the measurable rectangles. This paper develops relations between probability measures on (HIXH Z ' f 1 x f 2), i.e., joint measures, and the projections of such measures on (HI' f 1) and (HZ' f 2). In particular, the class of all...
