The analysis of polar clouds from AVHRR satellite data using pattern recognition techniques [PDF]
The cloud cover in a set of summertime and wintertime AVHRR data from the Arctic and Antarctic regions was analyzed using a pattern recognition algorithm. The data were collected by the NOAA-7 satellite on 6 to 13 Jan. and 1 to 7 Jul. 1984 between 60 deg

Doppler cooling with coherent trains of laser pulses and tunable "velocity comb"
, 2011 We explore the possibility of decelerating and Doppler cooling of an ensemble of two-level atoms by a coherent train of short, non-overlapping laser pulses.

A Digital Archive of Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover, November 1966 through December 1980 [PDF]
, 1982 The purpose of this article is to acquaint the research community with a new data base—a digitized archive of Northern Hemisphere snow cover. Historically, those researchers who needed snow cover data for climatic and atmospheric boundary layer studies ...

Investigating the Impact of Optical Snow Cover Data on L-Band InSAR Snow Water Equivalent Retrievals
Journal of Remote SensingNo single remote sensing technique can accurately measure snow water equivalent (SWE) from space for mountain hydrology applications. To address this challenge in SWE monitoring, we evaluated a multisensor approach that leverages the strengths of both ...

Spectral albedos of midlatitude snowpacks [PDF]
Spectral albedos of impure-nonhomogeneous snowpacks, typical of midlatitudes, from 400 to 2200 nm were modeled through a numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation in the two-stream approximation.

Characterization of extrasolar terrestrial planets from diurnal photometric variability
, 2001 The detection of massive planets orbiting nearby stars has become almost routine, but current techniques are as yet unable to detect terrestrial planets with masses comparable to the Earth's.
