The Effects of Different Footprint Sizes and Cloud Algorithms on the Top-Of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Calculation from the Clouds and Earths Radiant Energy System (CERES) Instrument on Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (NPP) [PDF]
, 2017 Only one Clouds and Earths Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument is onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) and it has been placed in cross-track mode since launch; it is thus not possible to construct a set of angular distribution

Changing NPP consumption patterns in the Holocene: From megafauna-‘liberated’ NPP to ‘ecological bankruptcy’ [PDF]
The Anthropocene Review, 2016 There have been vast changes in how net primary production (NPP) has been consumed by humans and animals through the Holocene. Here we ask: how much NPP energy may have become available following the megafauna extinctions? When did humans, through agriculture and livestock, consume more NPP than wild mammals?

Aircraft Impact Effects on an Aged NPP [PDF]
Materials, 2021 The impact of an aircraft is widely known to be one of the worst events that can occur during the operation of a plant (classified for this reason as beyond design). This can become much more catastrophic and lead to the loss of strength of/collapse of the structures when it occurs in the presence of ageing (degradation and alteration) materials ...

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]
, 1992 We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool

Ozone and haze pollution weakens net primary productivity in China [PDF]
, 2017 Atmospheric pollutants have both beneficial and detrimental effects on carbon uptake by land ecosystems. Surface ozone (O3) damages leaf photosynthesis by oxidizing plant cells, while aerosols promote carbon uptake by increasing diffuse radiation and ...

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2020 Nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing data have been widely used to derive socioeconomic indices at national and regional scales. However, few studies analyzed the factors that may explain NTL variations at a fine scale due to the limited resolution of ...
