Impact Forecasting to Support Emergency Management of Natural Hazards [PDF]
Forecasting and early warning systems are important investments to protect lives, properties, and livelihood. While early warning systems are frequently used to predict the magnitude, location, and timing of potentially damaging events, these systems ...

Volcanic monitoring and hazard assessment in El Salvador
The Salvadorean volcanic range forms part of Central America Volcanic Arc and is located on the Pacific ring of fire. El Salvador is a country with at least twenty Holocene-active volcanic structures and where most of the population, including the ...

Volcanic Hot-Spot Detection Using SENTINEL-2: A Comparison with MODIS−MIROVA Thermal Data Series [PDF]
In the satellite thermal remote sensing, the new generation of sensors with high-spatial resolution SWIR data open the door to an improved constraining of thermal phenomena related to volcanic processes, with strong implications for monitoring ...

Volcano hazard and surveillance in Costa Rica
Costa Rica hosts ten volcanic complexes and is highly tectonically active due to its location at the interaction between the Cocos, Nazca, and Caribbean plates and the Panama microplate.

Monitoring of active volcanoes in Peru by the Instituto Geofísico del Perú
Volcano monitoring in Peru is carried out by the Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP), through its Centro Vulcanológico Nacional (CENVUL). CENVUL monitors 12 out of 16 volcanoes considered as historically active and potentially active in southern Peru and ...

Thermal Remote Sensing for Global Volcano Monitoring: Experiences From the MIROVA System [PDF]
Volcanic activity is always accompanied by the transfer of heat from the Earth’s crust to the atmosphere. This heat can be measured from space and its measurement is a very useful tool for detecting volcanic activity on a global scale.

Abstract During a volcanic crisis, high‐rate, localized deformation can indicate magma close to the surface, with important implications for eruption forecasting. However, only a few such examples have been reported, because frequent, dense monitoring is needed.

Quantifying Parametric Uncertainty Effects on Tropical Cloud Fraction in an AGCM
Abstract The underestimation of cloud fraction, especially the low stratus cloud (LSC) fraction over the eastern oceans, remains a problem in most atmospheric global climate models. This study investigated potential improvements through perturbing nine moist physical parameters, using uniform sampling and Latin hypercube sampling methods, and ...
