Infrared remote sensing for monitoring rainfall

Agricultural Water Management, 1983
Abstract Evaluations of thermal infrared satellite data from TIROS-N and the Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM) showed that rainfall distribution patterns could be reliably detected on images acquired up to at least three days after the event. The temperature relationship decreased eight days after the event when soil variations influenced the ...

Monitoring the environment by remote sensing

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1987
Structural features of ecosystems, such as leaf area index, phytomass and canopy chemical contents, are beginning to be estimated from remotely sensed data. This development, in combination with ecological modeling, is permitting the estimation of functional features of ecosystems including primary productivity and nutrient cycling. Such techniques are

Remote Sensing for Bridge Monitoring

Condition, Reliability, and Resilience Assessment of Tunnels and Bridges, 2011
Commercial remote sensing (CRS) as robust bridge health monitoring techniques offer unique features that are missing from current embedded structural health monitoring systems, including the ability to geo-reference bridge location, provide spatial views and high-resolution top views of bridges.

Application of remote sensing to exposure monitoring

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1982
Although exposure assessments cannot be completed remotely, remote sensing techniques provide an invaluable adjunct in exposure monitoring programs. Exposure can be defined as the summation over time, in all media, of the amount of a pollutant available at the exchange boundaries of the receptor during a specified period.

On applications of remote sensing for environmental monitoring

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1986
Modern airborne and satellite remote sensing techniques offer attractive opportunities to coastal monitoring systems. Improvements of the evaluation of larger scales phenomena and processes due to the synopticity of the remote sensing data are of particular interest.

Monitoring of an Andean rainforest environment with remote sensing

2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2007
While the Tropical Andes are considered as the hotspot of biodiversity, in terms of endemic species, Ecuador is subject to South Americas second highest deforestation rate. The need for retaliatory action calls for cost-effective monitoring of land use changes in extensive and often inaccessible areas.

Remote sensing applications for monitoring rangeland vegetation

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1991
Remote sensing techniques hold considerable promise for the inventory and monitoring of natural resources on rangelands. A significant lack of information concerning basic spectral characteristics of range vegetation and soils has resulted in a lack of rangeland applications. The parameters of interest for range condition must be identified and a
