Synthetic Aperture Radar Monitoring of Snow in a Reindeer-Grazing Landscape

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Snow cover and runoff play an important role in the Arctic environment, which is increasingly affected by climate change. Over the past 30 years, winter temperatures in northern Sweden have risen by 2 °C, accompanied by an increase in precipitation. This

Analyzing Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Crop Parameters Using Sentinel-1 Backscatter Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
The knowledge about heterogeneity on agricultural fields is essential for a sustainable and effective field management. This study investigates the performance of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data of the Sentinel-1 satellites to detect variability ...

Effects of Mg on Microstructure and Solidification of a Hypereutectic Zn–8 wt.%Al Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An appreciable set of results involving thermal data, microstructure, chemical composition, and microstructural growth laws is reported for ZnAlMg alloys. Such results demonstrate that ZnAlMg alloys have high potential for applications in automotive self‐lubricating components, batteries, and electrical systems.

Multispectral Multibeam Echo Sounder Backscatter as a Tool for Improved Seafloor Characterization

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The establishment of multibeam echosounders (MBES), as a mainstream tool in ocean mapping, has facilitated integrative approaches towards nautical charting, benthic habitat mapping, and seafloor geotechnical surveys. The combined acoustic response of the

Cryogenic Deformation Behavior of TiAl and Insights Into Embrittlement After High‐Temperature Exposure Combined With Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy of Near Surface Chemistry

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐surface deuterium enrichment profiles for different microstructural types of TiAl after exposure at 700 °C in a heavy water‐containing environment. The deuterium levels are significantly higher than expected from natural occurrence, indicating that the heavy water dissociated during the exposure treatment and entered the specimens.

Simultaneous HF measurements of E- and F-region Doppler velocity at large flow angles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceData collected by the CUTLASS Finland HF radar are used to illustrate the significant difference between the cosine component of the plasma convection in the F-region and the Doppler velocity of the E-region coherent echoes observed

Understanding the stability of the ECOPuck optical sensor: evaluation of long-term ocean glider data streams across decades

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Over 16 years, Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ocean Glider program has collected high-resolution optical sensor data (scatter, chlorophyll-a (Chl)) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) fluorescence) across 400+ missions ...

Impact of the Process Atmosphere During Hot Isostatic Pressing on the Near‐Surface Composition of an Additively Manufactured Austenitic High‐Interstitial Steel

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A high interstital austenitic steel is additively manufactured and postdensified by HIP to eliminate gas porosity. Thereby, the loss of N and Mn in Ar HIP atmosphere is investigated. Further, HIP using N2 atmosphere is investigated which led to excessive nitride formation.

Temporal, spatial, spectral and polarisation characteristics of the SAR backscatter from regenerating tropical forests

open access: yes, 2001
The establishment of an accurate global carbon budget and the consequent ability to understand and predict future environmental change is dependent on knowing the strength of terrestrial sinks and sources of carbon.

The Intertwined Factors Affecting Altimeter Sigma0

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Radar altimeters receive radio-wave reflections from nadir and determine surface parameters from the strength and shape of the return signal. Over the oceans, the strength of the return, termed sigma0 (σ0), is strongly related to the small-scale ...
