Reliably flattened radar backscatter for wet snow mapping from wide-swath sensors
, 2013 Retrieval of wet snow extent with high temporal resolution over large areas that include topography requires use of wide swath SAR and radiometric terrain correction to enable backscatter comparisons across different orbital tracks. We report on springtime wet snow mapping using a time series of Envisat ASAR wide swath (WS) images covering the Swiss ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, EarlyView.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2022 The installed porcelain insulators on existing railway lines in China are prone to "snow flash" in winter. In order to prevent the occurrence of "snow flash" and improve the reliability of the insulators, a composite-porcelain insulator is designed.
