A new dataset of rain cells based on observations of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar, visible/infrared scanner and microwave imager [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Understanding the characteristics of the rain cell, the most basic unit in the natural precipitation system, is helpful in improving the cognition of the precipitation system. In this study, based on the merged precipitation profile data, reflectance and

Concept for improved radiometric calibration of radiance sources at the CHB facility

, 2010
The Calibation Home Base (CHB) is a facility for the calibration of airborne imaging spectrometers such as APEX, ROSIS and in the future ARES, and for field spectrometers. Absolute radiometric calibration in the spectral range of 350–2500 nm is currently

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Estimation of Chlorophyll Fluorescence at Different Scales: A Review

Sensors, 2019
Measuring chlorophyll fluorescence is a direct and non-destructive way to monitor vegetation. In this paper, the fluorescence retrieval methods from multiple scales, ranging from near the ground to the use of space-borne sensors, are analyzed and ...

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

A Multi‐Analytical Approach for the Compositional Characterization and Chronological Discrimination of Benin (Nigeria) Metal Sculptures

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a multi‐analytical archaeometric approach for the compositional characterization and chronological discrimination of Benin metal sculptures in relation to the 1897 Punitive Expedition. The methodology integrates elemental composition (XRF and ICP), stable lead isotope ratios (MC‐ICP‐MS) for alloy system characterization ...

Spatial Resolution Enhancement of Microwave Radiation Imager (MWRI) Data

Remote Sensing
A spaceborne microwave radiometer has a low spatial resolution limited by its antenna size. Enhancing the spatial resolution of data acquired by such sensors can improve the quality of subsequent applications.
