Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) for the Earth Observing System [PDF]
Not only are scientific objectives and instrument characteristics given of a calibrated optical LIS for the EOS but also for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) which was designed to acquire and study the distribution and variability of total ...

The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) Field Campaign [PDF]
The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field experiment produced an exceptional dataset on thunderstorms, including their dynamical, physical, and electrical structures and their impact on the chemical composition of the troposphere.

风云四号静止卫星(FY-4)上携带的闪电成像仪(LMI,lightning mapping imager)可以很好地实时监测对流层的闪电活动情况,但由于目前公开的1 min事件产品(event)并不对应于一次次的闪电(flash),因此需要进行"聚类",也就是将事件产品(event)转化为闪电(flash)数据。为了得到适合LMI的闪电聚类算法,本文选取了LMI空间像元分辨率不同的两个典型区域,一个是像元分辨率约为8 km的西南地区(东经,北纬),另一个是像元分辨率约为12 km的东北地区(东经,北纬),

The rationale and suggested approaches for research geosynchronous satellite measurements for severe storm and mesoscale investigations [PDF]
The measurements from current and planned geosynchronous satellites provide quantitative estimates of temperature and moisture profiles, surface temperature, wind, cloud properties, and precipitation.

We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Need for expanded environmental measurement capabilities in geosynchronous Earth orbit [PDF]
The proliferation of environmental satellites in low altitude earth orbit (LEO) has demonstrated the usefulness of earth remote sensing from space. As use of the technology grows, the limitations of LEO missions become more apparent.

Satellite monitoring of harmful algal blooms (HABs) to protect the aquaculture industry [PDF]
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can cause sudden and considerable losses to fish farms, for example 500,000 salmon during one bloom in Shetland, and also present a threat to human health. Early warning allows the industry to take protective measures.

The Issue of Pre‐Islamic Arabic Christian Poetry Revisited
ABSTRACT Is only very little Arabic Christian poetry extant from pre‐Islamic times? While distancing myself from Louis Cheikho's (1859–1927) view that almost all pre‐Islamic poets were Christians, I contend in this article that some of them indeed were.
