Dynamic Wind Effect on Fireline Intensity in Rugged Terrain
, 2023 Although mountain areas account for approximately one fifth of the terrestrial surface, there has been less research focused on fire in these areas compared to lowlands. Mountain fires have distinct behavior due to dynamic winds interacting with the terrain, which can influence the fireline intensity and propagation. For the sake of fire safety of fire

Improving LAI retrieval in complex mountains with implicit mutual terrain irradiance
Trees, Forests and PeopleLeaf area index (LAI), a key indicator of vegetation canopy structure, is vital to regional ecological assessment and environmental monitoring. However, rugged terrain can induce the radiation distortion recorded by senses, thus resulting in substantial ...

A Stepwise BRDF-Based Land Surface Reflectance Model Over Rugged Terrain
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingThe land surface reflectance is an essential variable of remote sensing, which is significantly affected by topography and atmosphere. Rugged terrain significantly alters the radiative transfer among the solar-terrain-sensor, resulting in large errors in

Modification of solar radiation model over rugged terrain
Chinese Science Bulletin, 1999 The formula for the duration of possible sunshine has been modified. Two geometrical factors, the circumsolar view factor and the isotropic view factor for calculating solar radiation, have been proposed. The ray-tracing method in computer cartography has been applied to simulating the obstruction of terrain over solar radiation. In addition, the shape

The estimation of errors in calculated terrain corrections in the Tatra Mountains
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2010 In general, calculation of terrain corrections can be a substantial source of errors in evaluating Bouguer anomalies, especially in rugged mountainous areas like the Tatra Mountains where we also get the largest values of the terrain corrections as such.
