The document discusses the sensory-motor loop assessment framework for monitoring environmental conditions, assessing data, setting goals, and implementing controls. It involves collecting multi-sensory data on the environment from satellites and platforms to analyze and inform decisions and actions. Human activities like burning fossil fuels alter the environment, which elicits responses through feedback loops to maintain balance. Monitoring, assessment, and controls are necessary for sustainable development. It provides examples of satellite programs for monitoring and trends showing increases in NO2 pollution from human activities. The goal is to attain natural air quality conditions by 2064 through sustainability transitions and controls.

C1.02: The activities and Work Plan of the GOOS Physics and Climate Panel (OO...Blue Planet Symposium
The GOOS Physics and Climate Panel* coordinates requirements for the physical variables for GOOS, and also leads the climate theme, reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC), through the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
Due to the many links that need to be made, the panel has a 5 year Work Plan (2013-2018), which is reviewed and updated annually. The Work Plan focusses on developing requirements for physics Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and ocean Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) through the development of variable specifications, the evaluation of network design to meet requirements, and the development and application of observing system performance metrics.
Where there is a need to evolve or expand the observing system, the panel conducts thematic systems based evaluations: for example, the Tropical Pacific observing system (TPOS) review, and evaluation of physics and climate aspects of the Deep Ocean Observing Strategy. Future plans and priorities include; Boundary Currents, and boundary current/shelf interactions, observations for reducing uncertainties in air sea fluxes, and observing ocean/ice interactions.
Systems based evaluations are designed to assess requirements for observations of EOVs, and assess approaches to meeting requirements with existing and emerging observing technologies. Some of these evaluations can and will lead to stand alone finite lifetime projects to oversee the transition or expansion of the observing system. For instance, a new project has been established following the TPOS review, called TPOS 2020 to oversee transition of the TPOS to become more robust, integrated and sustainable (see www.tpos2020.org).
* The GOOS Physics and Climate Panel is also known as the GCOS-GOOS-WCRP Ocean Observations panel for Physics and Climate, OOPC. See more details at www.oopc.infoGreat river ecological observatory sloan
The Great Rivers Ecological Observatory Network (GREON) monitors water quality in the Upper Mississippi River Basin using floating monitoring platforms called Pontoons for In-Situ Characterization of Environmental Systems (PISCES). GREON's mission is to collect and share high resolution data on key water quality parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrates and chlorophyll to advance understanding of large floodplain river ecology. Current sites include locations on the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois Rivers. GREON collaborates with various partners and aims to expand its network of monitoring sites.
Ensuring the Climate Record from the NPOESS and GOES-R Spacecraft
The document summarizes a National Research Council committee's prioritization of climate measurement capabilities that were lost or degraded following changes to the NPOESS and GOES-R satellite programs. The committee ranked measurements in four tiers based on their importance to climate science, and made recommendations to recover top-tier capabilities. Key recommendations included developing a microwave radiometer, radar altimeter, and Earth radiation budget instruments, as well as restoring hyperspectral coverage and geostationary sounders.
Role of Remote sensing
Remote sensing uses sensors on aircrafts and satellites to obtain information about objects and areas from a distance. It has various applications such as observing ocean currents, preventing wetland degradation, quantifying earthquake damage through change detection between pre- and post-earthquake images, and comparing past and present climatic factors by mapping variables over time from NASA satellites. Remote sensing is also used to monitor vehicle emissions and fuel economy from space with minimal interference and classify landscape images into categories.

Editorial – Jan/Feb/Mar 2013 – Impact of the loss/addition of satellite altimetry on operational
products
Greengs all,
This issue is dedicated to the study of the impact of the loss or addion of satellite almetry on operaonal products and systems.
The first news feature by Larnicol et al. is presenng the GODAE OceanView Observing System Evaluaon Task Team which primary objecve is to
support observaonal agencies by demonstrang the impact of observaons on operaonal forecast and reanalysis systems. Its secondary objecve
is to improve the performance of operaonal ocean forecast systems.
The second paper by Labroue et al. is reminding us about the main 2012 events within the satellite almetry constellaon. For the past two decades,
we have been used to take for granted the presence of several satellites flying together. The loss of Envisat in April 2012 and the decision to
put Jason-1 on its end of life orbit is a crude reminder of this constellaon fragility. Hence during 2012, the DUACS and MyOcean Sea Level TAC
teams have contributed to secure the almetry component in the frame of operaonal oceanography.
The third paper by Labroue et al. is displaying the potenal offered by Cryosat-2 for the mesoscale signal. The added value brought by Cryosat-2 as a
complement to the exisng almetry constellaon is discussed as well as how Cryosat-2 could contribute to secure the almetry constellaon and
thus the operaonal oceanography. Cryosat-2 mission has been introduced into the Near Real Time Sea Level system since February 2012 and has
been added to the Delayed Time system in April 2012.
The fourth paper by Remy et al. addresses the impact of the change of the satellite constellaon on the French Mercator Ocean analysis and forecas
ng systems. The impact of the loss of the ENVISAT and Jason1 along track Sea Level Anomaly data in the beginning of the year 2012 in the real
me products is studied. A dedicated set of Observing System Experiments (OSEs) is performed and preliminary results are shown. An OSE involves
running a copy of an exisng assimilaon run where some observaons are excluded. The difference between this run and the original run assimila
ng all the observaons allows a detailed assessment of the impact the observaons have on the assimilaon system.
Finally, the fi8h paper by Lea et al. is showing a number of Observing System Experiments (OSEs) to assess the impact of the observing network on
FOAM, the UK Met Office’s ocean assimilaon and forecasng system, as part of GODAE OceanView. A parallel version of the FOAM operaonal
system was run, during April 2011, withholding Jason-2 almeter observaons. Withholding Jason-2 removed 43% of the almeter data and resulted
in a 4% increase in the RMS SSH observaon-minus-background differences and around ±2ºC small scale changes in 100m temperature as well as
around ±0.2 psu changes in surface salinity.
We will meet again in April 2013 for a j
Earth Science and Applications from Space
The document summarizes the key findings and recommendations from the Earth Science and Applications from Space (ESAS) Decadal Survey conducted by the National Research Council. The survey assessed Earth science priorities and recommended a suite of 17 new missions for NASA and NOAA from 2010-2020 to address key science questions and societal needs. The recommended missions would provide robust and integrated global observations across 7 themes to sustain and enhance the United States' leadership in Earth science.

Editorial - May 2014 - Special Issue jointly coordinated by Mercator Ocean and Coriolis
focusing on Ocean Observations
Greetings all,
Once a year and for the fi fth year in a raw, the Mercator Ocean Forecasting Center in Toulouse and the Coriolis Infrastructure in Brest publish a
common newsletter. Some papers are dedicated to observations only, when others display collaborations between the 2 aspects: Observations and
Modelling/Data assimilation.
The fi rst paper by Cabanes et al. introducing this issue is presenting a new methodology aiming at correcting Argo fl oat salinity measurements in
delayed time when Argo fl oats conductivity sensors are subject to drift and offset due to bio-fouling or other technical problems.
Then, Cravatte et al. are using the Argo arrays in order to compile Argo fl oats’ drifts and show that they are a very valuable tool allowing determining
the absolute velocity. They apply this to study zonal jets at 1000 meters depth in the Tropics.
In the next paper, Maes and O’Kane provide with some results indicating the impact of a sustained ocean observing Argo network on the ability to
resolve the seasonal cycle of salinity stratifi cation by contrasting periods pre- and post-Argo. They take into account the respective thermal and saline
dependencies in the Brunt-Väisälä frequency (N2) in order to isolate the specifi c role of the salinity stratifi cation in the layers above the main pycno-
cline.
Picheral et al. are telling us about the Tara Oceans voyage that took place on the schooner “Tara” from 2009 to 2013 and visited all oceans. The ship
was adapted for modern oceanography. Scientifi c instruments were mounted on a dedicated CTD frame and installed on an underway fl ow-through
system. Data were sent daily to Coriolis. Post cruise calibrations were performed leading to a high quality dataset.
Then, Roquet et al. demonstrate the importance of the contribution of hydrographic and biogeochemical data collected by Antarctic marine mammals,
and in particular elephant seals, equipped with a new generation of oceanographic tags, for the environmental monitoring of the Southern Ocean.
The last paper of the present issue is displaying the collaboration between the Ocean Observations and Ocean Modelling communities: Turpin et
al. perform several Observing System Experiments in order to assess the impact of Argo observations on the Mercator Océan global analysis and
forecasting system at ¼ degree resolution.
We wish you a pleasant reading,

Ezra Haaf och Roland Barthel - a novel approach for groundwater assessment an...Geological Survey of Sweden
This document presents a novel approach for classifying groundwater systems using time series data from monitoring wells. The approach uses principal component analysis and clustering algorithms to group similar groundwater hydrographs based on features like mean, standard deviation, and maximum levels. This produces a more systematic and data-driven classification than previous subjective expert methods. The goal is to predict groundwater behavior at unmonitored locations and improve groundwater modeling and assessment of climate change impacts. The developed groupings could also provide clearer definitions of classifications like "slow and fast responding" groundwater systems.Egm 2008
1) The document examines the performance of the EGM2008 global geoid model against GPS and leveling data from Scandinavia, adjacent Baltic areas, and Greenland.
2) Testing in Scandinavia and Baltic areas found that EGM2008 performs at the same level as the best regional geoid model NKG2004, with a standard deviation from leveling-derived geoid heights of 0.24 meters.
3) In Greenland, EGM2008 could not be directly evaluated due to a lack of leveling data, but comparisons to GPS-altimetry data showed performance on par with the regional model GOCINA04.

The document describes a study that aims to monitor and retrieve historical daily surface temperature data of sub-alpine lakes from satellite imagery over the past two decades. The study will leverage daily thermal imagery from multiple satellite sensors to develop daily homogenized lake surface water temperature time series for each lake. Statistical methods will be used to reconstruct temperature time series with gaps filled in. The reconstructed time series will then be analyzed to study long term warming trends and their links to climatic factors. Preliminary results show good agreement between reconstructed lake surface temperatures and in situ measurements.

Mercator Ocean newsletter 34
Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to Data Assimilation and its techniques and progress for operational oceanography.
Gary Brassington is first introducing this newsletter with a paper telling us about the international summer school for “observing,
assimilating and forecasting the ocean” which will be held in Perth, Western Australia in 11-22 January 2010
(http://www.bom.gov.au/bluelink/summerschool/). The course curriculum will include topics covering the leading edge science in
ocean observing systems, as well as the latest methods and techniques for analysis, data assimilation and ocean modeling.
Scientific articles about Data Assimilation are then displayed as follows: The first article by Broquet et al. is dealing with Ocean
state and surface forcing correction using the ROMS-IS4DVAR Data Assimilation System. Then, Cosme et al. are describing the
SEEK smoother as a Data Assimilation scheme for oceanic reanalyses. The next article by Brankart et al. is displaying a synthetic
literature review on the following subject: Is there a simple way of controlling the forcing function of the Ocean? Then Ferry et al.
are telling us about Ocean-Atmosphere flux correction by Ocean Data Assimilation. The last article by Oke et al. is dealing with
Data Assimilation in the Australian BlueLink System.
The next October 2009 newsletter will review the current work on ocean biology and biogeochemistry.
We wish you a pleasant reading!
Crete-Fieldwork-final-report print version
This document describes observations of microclimates within Ilingas Gorge in Crete. 19 locations within the gorge were studied and measurements were taken of light intensity, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. The data showed variations between the left, center, and right sides of the gorge at each location, likely due to differences in shade, slope, and morphology. For example, locations near the entrance recorded higher temperatures on sunny sides compared to shaded sides. The analysis indicates distinctive microclimates exist due to the complex topography creating micro-variations in climatic conditions within the narrow gorge system.
1.0 earthsciencemodule 1
This document discusses the four main branches of Earth science: meteorology, astronomy, geology, and oceanography. It then provides further information about each branch, including definitions and examples. Throughout the document, various Earth science concepts are defined and explained such as the water cycle, plate tectonics, weather tools, and the scientific method. Photos related to each topic are included.
RSCy2013 Best Paper Award
Best Paper Award in First International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geo-information of Environment (RSCy2013)
OceanSITES
The document discusses OceanSITES, a project that collects long-term, high-frequency ocean observations from fixed locations worldwide. OceanSITES aims to collect multidisciplinary data from the full water column and overlying atmosphere. It provides unique temporal behavior insights and reference data to complement other observation approaches. The network benefits members through data sharing and access to infrastructure, training, and leadership opportunities. It holds annual meetings and has over 50 observation sites making physical, optical, biological and chemical measurements globally. A microcat sensor project added more deep ocean temperature and salinity sensors. Data is managed through a format and shared using two global data centers.
Meteorologcal application of satellites
The document discusses the use of meteorological satellites, weather balloons, and sounding rockets for weather forecasting. It provides background on severe weather events that have caused major damage, highlighting the need for improved forecasting. It then describes some of the first meteorological satellites, including TIROS-1, which was the first to transmit cloud photos from space. It also discusses the NIMBUS satellites, which had improved coverage over the TIROS satellites and helped enable long-term observations of phenomena like the ozone hole.
Conclusive Results
This document discusses how satellite observations over the past 50 years have revolutionized the field of earth sciences. It describes how early satellite missions taught scientists not only about the earth but how to improve satellite technology. Precise measurements from satellites have enabled major advances in understanding plate tectonics, topography, seismology and more. The ubiquity of GPS has provided vital data on phenomena like sea level change, earthquakes and volcanoes. Open data policies have maximized the benefits of earth observations.
Introductory slides about coastal change dataset
This document discusses the use of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to analyze topographic changes caused by hurricanes. LIDAR uses light pulses to map surface elevations from aircraft. It was used to map areas in North Carolina before and after Hurricane Irene, allowing scientists to identify regions of erosion (shown in red) and accretion (shown in blue). Specifically, LIDAR data and aerial photographs of an area called "Location 1" on the Core Banks before and after the hurricane show widespread shoreline retreat and overwash deposits from storm waves and surge.
Scientific platforms
The document describes a concept for a global constellation of stratospheric scientific platforms using balloons and stratospheric satellites (StratoSats) to provide continuous, low-cost Earth observations from the stratosphere. Key aspects of the concept include using tens to hundreds of small, long-duration balloons and StratoSats maintained in uniform global and regional constellations through trajectory control systems. The concept aims to support expansion of NASA's Earth science objectives through new observation opportunities and applications at a fraction of the cost of satellites.
Inthe News
Astronauts on two Space Shuttle missions in 2009 tested nutritional supplements developed through a joint research project between AmeriSciences and NASA. The supplements, an antioxidant and multivitamin formula, are now being used and tested on the International Space Station. This marks progress in developing supplements to meet the nutritional needs of astronauts during long-duration spaceflight and addresses medical concerns like higher radiation exposure. Versions of the tested supplements are now commercially available from AmeriSciences.

1) The document discusses observations of mesospheric gravity waves over the Andes Mountains from both ground-based and satellite instruments.
2) Ground-based observations have been made at the Andes Lidar Observatory in Cerro Pachon, Chile since 2009, measuring gravity wave activity in the mesosphere through OH layer measurements.
3) Complementary satellite observations have been made by the SABER instrument on the TIMED satellite, which has measured increased temperature variance in the mesosphere over the Andes during winter months that indicates stronger gravity wave activity.
Mercator Ocean newsletter 50
Editorial - May 2014 - Special Issue jointly coordinated by Mercator Ocean and Coriolis
focusing on Ocean Observations
Greetings all,
Once a year and for the fi fth year in a raw, the Mercator Ocean Forecasting Center in Toulouse and the Coriolis Infrastructure in Brest publish a
common newsletter. Some papers are dedicated to observations only, when others display collaborations between the 2 aspects: Observations and
Modelling/Data assimilation.
The fi rst paper by Cabanes et al. introducing this issue is presenting a new methodology aiming at correcting Argo fl oat salinity measurements in
delayed time when Argo fl oats conductivity sensors are subject to drift and offset due to bio-fouling or other technical problems.
Then, Cravatte et al. are using the Argo arrays in order to compile Argo fl oats’ drifts and show that they are a very valuable tool allowing determining
the absolute velocity. They apply this to study zonal jets at 1000 meters depth in the Tropics.
In the next paper, Maes and O’Kane provide with some results indicating the impact of a sustained ocean observing Argo network on the ability to
resolve the seasonal cycle of salinity stratifi cation by contrasting periods pre- and post-Argo. They take into account the respective thermal and saline
dependencies in the Brunt-Väisälä frequency (N2) in order to isolate the specifi c role of the salinity stratifi cation in the layers above the main pycno-
cline.
Picheral et al. are telling us about the Tara Oceans voyage that took place on the schooner “Tara” from 2009 to 2013 and visited all oceans. The ship
was adapted for modern oceanography. Scientifi c instruments were mounted on a dedicated CTD frame and installed on an underway fl ow-through
system. Data were sent daily to Coriolis. Post cruise calibrations were performed leading to a high quality dataset.
Then, Roquet et al. demonstrate the importance of the contribution of hydrographic and biogeochemical data collected by Antarctic marine mammals,
and in particular elephant seals, equipped with a new generation of oceanographic tags, for the environmental monitoring of the Southern Ocean.
The last paper of the present issue is displaying the collaboration between the Ocean Observations and Ocean Modelling communities: Turpin et
al. perform several Observing System Experiments in order to assess the impact of Argo observations on the Mercator Océan global analysis and
forecasting system at ¼ degree resolution.
We wish you a pleasant reading,

Ezra Haaf och Roland Barthel - a novel approach for groundwater assessment an...Geological Survey of Sweden
This document presents a novel approach for classifying groundwater systems using time series data from monitoring wells. The approach uses principal component analysis and clustering algorithms to group similar groundwater hydrographs based on features like mean, standard deviation, and maximum levels. This produces a more systematic and data-driven classification than previous subjective expert methods. The goal is to predict groundwater behavior at unmonitored locations and improve groundwater modeling and assessment of climate change impacts. The developed groupings could also provide clearer definitions of classifications like "slow and fast responding" groundwater systems.Egm 2008
1) The document examines the performance of the EGM2008 global geoid model against GPS and leveling data from Scandinavia, adjacent Baltic areas, and Greenland.
2) Testing in Scandinavia and Baltic areas found that EGM2008 performs at the same level as the best regional geoid model NKG2004, with a standard deviation from leveling-derived geoid heights of 0.24 meters.
3) In Greenland, EGM2008 could not be directly evaluated due to a lack of leveling data, but comparisons to GPS-altimetry data showed performance on par with the regional model GOCINA04.

The document describes a study that aims to monitor and retrieve historical daily surface temperature data of sub-alpine lakes from satellite imagery over the past two decades. The study will leverage daily thermal imagery from multiple satellite sensors to develop daily homogenized lake surface water temperature time series for each lake. Statistical methods will be used to reconstruct temperature time series with gaps filled in. The reconstructed time series will then be analyzed to study long term warming trends and their links to climatic factors. Preliminary results show good agreement between reconstructed lake surface temperatures and in situ measurements.

Mercator Ocean newsletter 34
Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to Data Assimilation and its techniques and progress for operational oceanography.
Gary Brassington is first introducing this newsletter with a paper telling us about the international summer school for “observing,
assimilating and forecasting the ocean” which will be held in Perth, Western Australia in 11-22 January 2010
(http://www.bom.gov.au/bluelink/summerschool/). The course curriculum will include topics covering the leading edge science in
ocean observing systems, as well as the latest methods and techniques for analysis, data assimilation and ocean modeling.
Scientific articles about Data Assimilation are then displayed as follows: The first article by Broquet et al. is dealing with Ocean
state and surface forcing correction using the ROMS-IS4DVAR Data Assimilation System. Then, Cosme et al. are describing the
SEEK smoother as a Data Assimilation scheme for oceanic reanalyses. The next article by Brankart et al. is displaying a synthetic
literature review on the following subject: Is there a simple way of controlling the forcing function of the Ocean? Then Ferry et al.
are telling us about Ocean-Atmosphere flux correction by Ocean Data Assimilation. The last article by Oke et al. is dealing with
Data Assimilation in the Australian BlueLink System.
The next October 2009 newsletter will review the current work on ocean biology and biogeochemistry.
We wish you a pleasant reading!
Crete-Fieldwork-final-report print version
This document describes observations of microclimates within Ilingas Gorge in Crete. 19 locations within the gorge were studied and measurements were taken of light intensity, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. The data showed variations between the left, center, and right sides of the gorge at each location, likely due to differences in shade, slope, and morphology. For example, locations near the entrance recorded higher temperatures on sunny sides compared to shaded sides. The analysis indicates distinctive microclimates exist due to the complex topography creating micro-variations in climatic conditions within the narrow gorge system.

Best Paper Award in First International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geo-information of Environment (RSCy2013)
OceanSITES
The document discusses OceanSITES, a project that collects long-term, high-frequency ocean observations from fixed locations worldwide. OceanSITES aims to collect multidisciplinary data from the full water column and overlying atmosphere. It provides unique temporal behavior insights and reference data to complement other observation approaches. The network benefits members through data sharing and access to infrastructure, training, and leadership opportunities. It holds annual meetings and has over 50 observation sites making physical, optical, biological and chemical measurements globally. A microcat sensor project added more deep ocean temperature and salinity sensors. Data is managed through a format and shared using two global data centers.
Meteorologcal application of satellites
The document discusses the use of meteorological satellites, weather balloons, and sounding rockets for weather forecasting. It provides background on severe weather events that have caused major damage, highlighting the need for improved forecasting. It then describes some of the first meteorological satellites, including TIROS-1, which was the first to transmit cloud photos from space. It also discusses the NIMBUS satellites, which had improved coverage over the TIROS satellites and helped enable long-term observations of phenomena like the ozone hole.
Conclusive Results
This document discusses how satellite observations over the past 50 years have revolutionized the field of earth sciences. It describes how early satellite missions taught scientists not only about the earth but how to improve satellite technology. Precise measurements from satellites have enabled major advances in understanding plate tectonics, topography, seismology and more. The ubiquity of GPS has provided vital data on phenomena like sea level change, earthquakes and volcanoes. Open data policies have maximized the benefits of earth observations.
Introductory slides about coastal change dataset
This document discusses the use of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to analyze topographic changes caused by hurricanes. LIDAR uses light pulses to map surface elevations from aircraft. It was used to map areas in North Carolina before and after Hurricane Irene, allowing scientists to identify regions of erosion (shown in red) and accretion (shown in blue). Specifically, LIDAR data and aerial photographs of an area called "Location 1" on the Core Banks before and after the hurricane show widespread shoreline retreat and overwash deposits from storm waves and surge.
Scientific platforms
The document describes a concept for a global constellation of stratospheric scientific platforms using balloons and stratospheric satellites (StratoSats) to provide continuous, low-cost Earth observations from the stratosphere. Key aspects of the concept include using tens to hundreds of small, long-duration balloons and StratoSats maintained in uniform global and regional constellations through trajectory control systems. The concept aims to support expansion of NASA's Earth science objectives through new observation opportunities and applications at a fraction of the cost of satellites.
Inthe News
Astronauts on two Space Shuttle missions in 2009 tested nutritional supplements developed through a joint research project between AmeriSciences and NASA. The supplements, an antioxidant and multivitamin formula, are now being used and tested on the International Space Station. This marks progress in developing supplements to meet the nutritional needs of astronauts during long-duration spaceflight and addresses medical concerns like higher radiation exposure. Versions of the tested supplements are now commercially available from AmeriSciences.

Energy-Environment Analysis Framework Iii
This document discusses frameworks for analyzing the relationships between human activities, economic development, and environmental impacts. It presents three frameworks:
1) A sensory-motor feedback loop from system science that links human activities and their consequences in a closed loop system.
2) A biogeochemical cycling loop from materials balance that looks at the minimum set of linked components needed for a system.
3) A causality loop from social-material science that examines how each system component depends on upstream drivers and the external environment.
Energy-Environment Pt1
The document discusses three analysis frameworks for sustainability:
1. Sensory-motor feedback loop (system science) which views sustainability as an adaptive process where goals are determined through experience.
2. Biogeochemical cycling loop (materials balance) which sees the Earth's systems as interconnected through circulation of key materials like carbon and nitrogen. Imbalances can occur when circulation rates are perturbed.
3. Causality loop (combined social-physical) which integrates both social and physical factors and their interactions.

PERSON DE-IDENTIFICATION IN VIDEOS ppt
This document summarizes a technical seminar on person de-identification in videos. The seminar covered general frameworks for de-identification, different video scenarios, criteria for de-identification, and methods for subverting de-identification. It then proposed a specific approach using detection and tracking, segmentation, and two de-identification transformations (exponential blur and line integral convolution). The proposed approach aims to protect privacy while maintaining context by obfuscating faces, silhouettes, and gait. Randomization is also suggested as a final step to further hinder identification.

C3.04: Assessing the impact of observations on ocean forecasts and reanalyses...Blue Planet Symposium
Under GODAE OceanView the operational ocean modelling community has developed a suite of global ocean forecast, reanalysis and analysis systems. Each system has a critical dependence on ocean observations – routinely assimilating observations of in-situ temperature and salinity, and satellite sea-level anomaly and sea surface temperature. Under GODAE OceanView (GOV), the Observing System Evaluation Task Team (https://www.godae-oceanview.org/science/task-teams/observing-system-evaluation-tt-oseval-tt/) regularly coordinates analyses from the GOV community to demonstration the value and impact of ocean observations on different global and regional data-assimilating forecast and reanalysis systems. Highlights of the latest suite of demonstrations will be presented here. Results show that Argo data are critically important – the most critical for seasonal prediction, and as critical as satellite altimetry for eddy-resolving applications. Most systems show that TAO data are as important as Argo in the tropical Pacific, and that XBT data have an impact that is comparable to other data types in the vicinity of XBT transects. It is clear that no currently available data type is redundant. On the contrary, the components of the global ocean observing system complement each other remarkably well, providing sufficient information to monitor and forecast the global ocean.Presentation

NASA Report
This document provides a final report on an internship with NASA's RESOLVE project. The report summarizes testing done on various components of the RESOLVE Engineering Test Unit (ETU) fluid subsystem. Pressure transducers were tested for repeatability under varying pressure and temperature conditions. Resistance temperature detectors were tested using a procedure that exposed them to a range of temperatures in atmospheric and vacuum environments. Additional tests analyzed heat wrapping configurations, compared options for gold deposition, and evaluated a mini-manifold design. The results of these tests will help optimize components for integrated testing of the ETU fluid subsystem and other RESOLVE subsystems in a vacuum chamber. The internship provided hands-on experience with testing spaceflight hardware and procedures
Mercator Ocean newsletter 31
Greetings to all,
The Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) final symposium will be held in Nice in November 12-15 2008. This
project has been a precursor to a world wide experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of global ocean observing systems using
state of the art assimilation techniques. Today, several teams are working on operational ocean systems to provide forecast and
description of the ocean, using increasingly complex assimilation schemes and high resolution models. As we saw in the last
newsletter, these systems have reached the coast and routinely provide real time ocean forecast. But they need input information
for their boundaries and initialisation fields, from regional, basin wide or global configurations.
This month, the Newsletter is dedicated to global ocean systems resulting from the GODAE project.
In the first news feature, a review of the GODAE achievements in ocean observing systems is made by Le Traon et al. In a
second introduction paper, Pierre Bahurel provides a “Global view on MyOcean” where he introduces the special ongoing efforts
to improve products and services to users.
Four systems from three countries (U.S., France and Japan) are then presented, showing a variety of developments, model
resolutions and assimilation schemes that are all facing the same challenges: to describe, understand and forecast the world
ocean. The first contribution is from Chassignet et Hurlburt and is dedicated to the U.S. HYCOM 1/12° global configuration.
Menemenlis et al. will then tell us how useful the ECCO2 system is in understanding and estimating ocean processes.
Legalloudec et al. follow with the 1/12° Mercator g lobal model and its ability to represent the mesoscale activity. Finally, Kamachi
et al. will present the MRI global systems, including two nesting configurations dedicated to several applications from climate
variability to boundary forcing or ocean weather.
The next newsletter will be published in January 2009 and dedicated to the Mediterranean Sea.
We wish you a pleasant reading.

The document describes the INSpIRe initiative, which aims to establish a remotely operable observatory to study geocoronal hydrogen and other near-space phenomena. The observatory will integrate two Fabry-Perot spectrometers and one spatial heterodyne spectrometer. Researchers from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are collaborating on the project. The observatory is currently under development at ERAU and will allow remote observations to investigate important questions about the distribution and variability of atomic hydrogen in the upper atmosphere and exosphere.
Energy-Environment Integration Frameworks
The document discusses three analysis frameworks for sustainability:
1. The sensory-motor feedback loop which involves monitoring environmental data, assessing it against goals, and implementing controls through actions and policy.
2. The biogeochemical cycling loop which looks at how elements like carbon and nitrogen circulate through ecosystems.
3. The causality loop which links human activities to their environmental and social consequences through indicators and trends over time. Integrating these perspectives is key to sustainable development analysis.
Trend_sheets_EN.pdf
Remote sensing via satellite provides opportunities to fill information gaps for sustainable water management. Recent developments in satellite technology, such as the Sentinel missions, allow for more accurate monitoring of surface water resources. Remote sensing can estimate variables like precipitation, evaporation, soil moisture, and water levels that support applications like flood forecasting and irrigation management. However, challenges remain in validating remote sensing data and building local technical capacity.

C5.02: The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network: data for decisions -...Blue Planet Symposium
Ocean acidification describes the changes in seawater chemistry that result from the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide by the ocean. The changes this century are predicted to have profound impacts on marine ecosystems with potential flow-on effects to economic and environmental services the ecosystems provide, including fisheries and aquaculture, coastal protection, and tourism. The Global Ocean Acidification - Observing Network (GOA-ON) has been developed in response to the widespread concern of the impacts of ocean acidification. The network is an internationally coordinated effort, combining ‘bottom up’ collaboration by the research community with ‘top down’ encouragement and support from a range of international bodies and organisations, including the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). The aim is to provide chemical and biological data from local to global scales that can be used to improve understanding of ocean acidification conditions and ecosystem responses, and to provide uniformly collected and quality-controlled data to assist policy making through research products and model-based projections of ecosystem responses. Capability development is a key aspect of the network. The status and future plans of the GOA-ON initiative will be described – providing the opportunity for additional involvement in its implementation.20110728_IGARSS_GDPS(ryu)fin1.pptx

Mercator Ocean newsletter 43
Editorial – October 2011 – Three of the MyOcean long time series reanalysis products
Greengs all,
This month’s newsleer is devoted to three of the MyOcean long me series Reanalysis products: the In Situ temperature and salinity CORA reanalysis
(1990 to 2010), the reanalysis of the North Atlanc ocean biogeochemistry (1998-2007) and the Arcc Ocean sea-ice dri/ reanalysis (1992-
2010).
The first product described here is the In Situ temperature and salinity CORA reanalysis (1990 to 2010). A new version of the comprehensive and
qualified ocean in-situ dataset (the Coriolis dataset for Re-Analysis - CORA) is released for the period 1990 to 2010. This in-situ dataset of temperature
and salinity profiles, from different data types (Argo, GTS data, VOS ships, NODC historical data...) on the global scale, is meant to be used for
general oceanographic research purposes, for ocean model validaon, and also for inializaon or assimilaon of ocean models. This product is
available from the MyOcean web portal (hp://www.myocean.eu/).
The second product is the reanalysis of the North Atlanc ocean biogeochemistry (1998-2007). A system assimilang Ocean Colour SeaWiFS data
during the period 1998-2007 has been designed to construct a reanalysis of the North Atlanc ocean biogeochemistry based on a coupled physicalbiogeochemical
model at eddy-admi:ng resoluon. The aim of this study is, on the one hand to develop the skeleton of a pre-operaonal coupled
physical-biogeochemical system with real-me assimilave/forecasng capability, and on the other hand to operate this prototype system for producing
a biogeochemical reanalysis covering the 1998-2007 period. This product is not available from the MyOcean web portal yet.
The third reanalysis product is the 1992-2010 winter Arcc Ocean sea ice dri/ me series made at Ifremer/CERSAT from satellite measurements
which consists of several products: the Level 3 products from single sensors and the L4 products from the combinaon of sensors. They are available
at 3, 6 and 30 day-lag with a 62.5 km-grid size during winter. This dataset is available for oceanic and climate modelling as well as various scienfic
studies in the Arcc. The me series is ongoing and will connue for Arcc long term monitoring using the next MetOp/ASCAT operaonal
scaerometers, planned to be operated for the next 10 years. This product is available from the MyOcean web portal (hp://www.myocean.eu/).
The next January 2012 issue will be dedicated to various applicaons using the Mercator Ocean products.

Describe and explain satellite remote sensing mission for monitoring.pdf
Describe and explain satellite remote sensing mission for monitoring water, carbon and global
climate change.
Solution
In recent years, the subjects of water, carbon, and global climate change
have attracted worldwide attention by scientists and the media. Climate
change, whether associated with human- induced or natural
variations, has and will continue to be important to policy makers and the
public. It is clear from reports such as that by the Intergovernmental Panelon Climate Change
(IPCC) [1] that
Earth observations play a critical role in providing information for assessment
and modeling. Improving these observations, better quality and newvariables, is a goal of most
national
and intergovernmental space agencies. Major initiatives are under waythat will result in benefits
to a broad
range of our global society. In the United States, a decadal study [2] was recently completed by
the
Committee on Earth Science and Applications of the US National Research
Council. The committee called for a commitment from the U.S. administration
to Earth observations to secure benefits for mankind. The report gives both
direction and a large boost to U.S. satellite programs as it recommended NOAA
to restore key observational capabilities of satellite missions and also that NASA
and NOAA launch 17 new satellite missions in the next 10 years. The study also
adds an additional focus to these missions: societal benefits.
Other countries have also been expanding their Earth observation programs
with numerous advanced concept satellite missions. Of particular relevance to
this issue are articles describing the
Earth observing programs of the
European Space Agency (ESA),
the Japanese Aerospace Exploration
Agency (JAXA), the China National
Space Administration (CNSA), the
Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and
the National Space Program Office
(NSPO) of Taiwan.
The ESA has a long history of
Earth observation from space that
began with meteorological missions
and has included a series of increasingly
sophisticated radars that have
provided valuable data about climate

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
