Validation and comparison of cloud properties retrieved from passive satellites over the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement TechniquesThe clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) play a vital role in defining the Earth's energy budget. The cloud properties over the SO are known to be different from their Northern Hemisphere counterparts. As a result, monitoring cloud properties over the SO,

Geocarto International, 1991 Abstract The Satellite Data Services Division (SDSD) maintains a digital browse file of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data. The AVHRR instrument is aboard the TIROS‐N series of spacecraft. The instrument has five channels for viewing the earth, two channels are in the visible part of the spectrum and three are in the infrared portion

Bergmann's rule: Why does body size increase with latitude?
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the tendency for endothermic body size to increase with latitude, a pattern often attributed to climatic factors. However, the underlying developmental and evolutionary mechanisms remain debated.
