Remote sensing of the atmosphere from environmental satellites [PDF]

Various applications of satellite remote sensing of the earth are reviewed, including (1) the use of meteorological satellites to obtain photographic and radiometric data for determining weather conditions; (2) determination of the earth radiation budget

Development and Evaluation of an Electronic Patient‐Reported Outcome Platform for Children Undergoing Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
An electronic platform for routine health‐related quality of life assessment in paediatric radiation therapy was developed and evaluated through user‐centred design and iterative testing. The platform was found to be intuitive and child‐friendly, with participants successfully completing tasks and offering feedback to guide refinement and future ...

Development and Initial Evaluation of an In‐House Paediatric CT Immobilisation Device

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Paediatric imaging often requires repeat scans due to motion artefacts, increasing radiation exposure and discomfort. This study developed a cost‐effective in‐house CT immobilisation device, which showed comparable image quality to commercial devices but highlighted the need for improvements in stability and infection control.

Seasonal Variability of Key Climate Parameters in the Mediterranean Region: Distinct Features From A Long‐Term (1940–2023) Analysis

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The intra‐annual variability of the Mediterranean climate does not include an even transition from winter to summer regime and vice versa. A detailed examination of the long‐term (84 years) mean intra‐annual variations of key parameters reveals remarkable and climatologically important peculiarities. ABSTRACT The intra‐annual variability of atmospheric

Human factors aspects of control room design: Guidelines and annotated bibliography [PDF]

A human factors analysis of the workstation design for the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite mission operation room is discussed. The relevance of anthropometry, design rules, environmental design goals, and the social-psychological environment are ...

Projected Evolution of Climatic Aridity in Spain: Robust Signals and Model Uncertainties

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study examines the projected evolution of climatic aridity in Spain throughout the 21st century, using the UNEP Aridity Index and CMIP6 simulations under different emission scenarios and global warming levels. Despite model biases, results show a general increase in aridity across the country, particularly in southern regions and the Canary ...

Variability of the Climate in Athens‐Greece Over the Last 165 Years of the Period 1858–2023: An Assessment Based on Thornthwaite's Climate Classification and Relevant Indices

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Athens' climate according to Thorthwaite is stable despite warming trends. Athens' climate remains semi‐arid and mesothermal over 165 years. Strong increases in evapotranspiration and stable precipitation were found. Soil water storage capacity affects water deficits but not aridity type.

How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)
