This document discusses resampling SMOS maps to match the resolution and incidence angles of AQUARIUS in order to enable synergistic analysis between the two missions. It describes using discrete Fourier transforms and Kaiser windows to resample SMOS maps while minimizing interpolation artifacts. The optimal Kaiser window parameters are determined through non-linear optimization to degrade SMOS pixels to equivalent AQUARIUS resolutions. An example resampling of SMOS brightness temperature maps for an overpass is provided. The procedure enables accurate resampling of SMOS maps for direct comparison with AQUARIUS observations.

The document summarizes the design of an irrigation channel using Lacey's theory. It is given that the discharge is 50 cumecs and the silt factor is 1.0. The calculations determine that the velocity is 0.842 m/sec, the hydraulic radius is 1.774 m, and the perimeter is 33.59 m. Assuming a trapezoidal cross-section with 1/2 side slopes, the area is calculated to be 59.38 m^2. Solving the equations gives the depth as 1.968 m and the bottom width as 29.34 m. The calculated slope is 1/6409.

Numerical simulation
This document describes a 3D SPH numerical simulation of the wave generated by the 1963 Vajont landslide in Italy. The simulation aims to overcome limitations of previous 2D models. It involves reconstructing the landslide geometry and kinematics, discretizing the lake into 1.7 million particles, and calibrating key parameters like friction factor to match historical run-up data. The simulation shows the landslide generating a wave that overtops the Vajont Dam with a peak flow of 160,000 m3/s. Results for wave propagation, maximum run-up, and residual lake level agree well with historical observations. The 3D SPH model provides new insights into the disaster and could be used to simulate downstream
Exercise hubblelaw
This document describes an activity involving Hubble's law and the use of Cepheid variables as standard candles to measure distances to galaxies. It contains the following key points:
1) Cepheid variables have a direct relationship between their period and luminosity, allowing their distance to be estimated. Images show a Cepheid in galaxy M100 with an estimated period of [blank days].
2) Galaxies' recessional velocities can be measured via redshift and are plotted against distance. A linear relationship is found, described by Hubble's law as v=Hd, where H is the Hubble constant.
3) Estimating H from the graph gives a value of [blank] km/s/Mpc, consistent with current estimates
Real-Time 3-D Wavelet Lifting
This document proposes and evaluates different approaches for performing real-time 3D wavelet lifting. It finds that a true 3D approach that processes all dimensions within a single loop outperforms naive approaches that process each dimension sequentially. This true 3D approach achieves an 11.7x speedup on Intel Core2 and 8x speedup on AMD Opteron CPUs compared to the best naive approach due to being more CPU cache and SIMD friendly.

DynamicFusion is a method for reconstructing and tracking non-rigid scenes in real-time by extending KinectFusion. It uses a volumetric truncated signed distance function (TSDF) to integrate depth maps from multiple viewpoints into a global reconstruction. Live depth frames are aligned to a dense surface prediction generated by raycasting the TSDF. This closes the loop between mapping and localization for tracking dynamic, non-rigid scenes.

Karnaugh maps provide an alternative way to simplify logic circuits compared to Boolean algebra. A Karnaugh map arranges the 1s and 0s from a truth table into cells based on the number of variables. Adjacent cells containing 1s are grouped to find simplified logic expressions in a visual manner. Karnaugh maps are commonly used for 2, 3, or 4 variable problems by arranging the cells accordingly. They allow the logic relationships between variables to be visualized in order to minimize Boolean expressions.
K-map method
The document describes the Karnaugh map method for minimizing Boolean functions with various numbers of variables. It includes:
- Introduction to K-maps and their use for simplifying logic functions
- Construction of 2, 3, and 4 variable K-maps and the relationship between variable assignments and map cells
- Examples of simplifying 2-variable and 3-variable logic functions using K-maps
- Rules for grouping cells in K-maps to minimize logic functions

What is a great circle, a loxodrome or a geodesic? What are the differences between them and which one is more suitable for each GIS application? This talk addresses this kind of questions and how geography is implemented in Boost.Geometry. The library that is currently being used to provide GIS support to MySQL.
Following up the introductory talk on Boost.Geometry we discuss the algorithmic, the implementation as well as the user perspective of the development of geography in Boost.Geometry. We define basic geometric objects such as geodesics, and the modeling of the Earth as a sphere or ellipsoid. We try to understand the effect of different Earth models to the accuracy and speed of fundamental geometric algorithms (such as length, area, intersection etc.) by showing particular examples. Finally, we are having a look towards the future of geography in Boost.Geometry.Barber_TU2.T03_hk_mb_casa_fg_hk_FINAL.pptx
This document presents a Bayesian methodology for retrieving soil parameters like moisture from SAR images. It begins by introducing the importance of soil moisture monitoring and the opportunity provided by Argentina's upcoming SAOCOM SAR satellite. It then discusses limitations of traditional retrieval models in accounting for speckle noise and terrain heterogeneity. The document proposes a Bayesian approach using a multiplicative speckle model within a likelihood function to estimate soil moisture and roughness from SAR backscatter measurements. Simulation results show the Bayesian method retrieves soil moisture across the full measurement space and provides error estimates, with improved precision at higher numbers of looks.
kmaps
The document discusses Karnaugh maps (K-maps), which are a tool for representing and simplifying Boolean functions with up to six variables. K-maps arrange the variables in a grid with cells representing minterms or maxterms. Adjacent cells that are both 1s can be combined to eliminate variables. The document provides examples of constructing K-maps from Boolean expressions and using them to find minimum sum of products (SOP) and product of sums (POS) expressions.

This document summarizes work on incorporating spatial dependence into atmospheric carbon dioxide retrievals from satellite data. It discusses using hierarchical Bayesian models to jointly analyze spatially correlated observations across multiple satellite footprints. This allows more precise carbon dioxide concentration estimates by borrowing strength between neighboring observations. Future work may optimize the tradeoff between precision and computational cost when analyzing larger spatial domains. The document also summarizes related work on using spatial unmixing models to estimate heterogeneous land properties like crop moisture levels from satellite imagery.Problem i ph o 26
1) A spacecraft measures the redshift of photons emitted from the surface of a star to determine the star's mass M and radius R. As it approaches the star, it measures the velocity needed for resonant absorption of photons by He+ ions.
2) The experimental data gives the velocity needed for resonance at different distances from the star. This data is plotted to determine M and R graphically.
3) In addition to gravitational redshift, the emitted photons will experience a small relativistic frequency shift due to the recoil of the emitting atom. This effect is much smaller than the gravitational redshift.

1) The document describes an approach for validating land surface temperature (LST) products from satellites like GOES-R and JPSS using ground-based observations. It involves developing a site-to-pixel model using high-resolution ASTER data to characterize sub-pixel heterogeneity and differences between ground sites and satellite pixels.
2) Statistical analysis of the differences between synthetic ASTER pixels, the nearest ASTER pixel, and ground temperatures at various sites showed small impacts from the location of the ground site within the satellite pixel.
3) Comparisons between real MODIS LST data and results from the synthetic pixel model were generally consistent, though the model overestimated LST compared to ground sites. Further evaluation of A
Atmospheric Correction Algorithm_IGARSS.pptx
This document describes three atmospheric correction algorithms for the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI): the Standard NASA algorithm, the Spectral Shape Matching Method (SSMM), and the Sun-Glint Correction Algorithm (SGCA). It outlines the processing steps for each algorithm, including radiometric calibration, removal of Rayleigh and aerosol scattering, and derivation of remote sensing reflectance. Validation results show SSMM and SGCA provide reasonable matches to NASA standard processing of MODIS data, though all three GOCI algorithms could be improved by updating aerosol and ocean models. The document concludes the algorithms capture the essential ocean color measurement but would benefit from further refinement.

The document describes two algorithms for enhancing cometary coma morphology in digital images: the radial weighted model and median coma model. The radial weighted model multiplies each pixel value by its distance from the comet's nucleus, removing the typical 1/r intensity gradient. The median coma model calculates the median pixel value on concentric circles from the nucleus to build a synthetic coma model, which can then be subtracted from or divided into the original image. Examples show how these techniques enhance structural details in cometary comae compared to unprocessed images. The source code for implementing these algorithms is freely available online.

2) Geolocation accuracy over Madagascar's coast is within 350-460m, showing a slight degradation over time but still much better than specifications.
SPACEBORNE_MICROWAVE_OBSERVATIONS_OF_RAIN 1972-1997.ppt
The document discusses spaceborne microwave observations of rain from 1972 to 1997, beginning with the launch of the Electrically Scanned Microwave Radiometer (ESMR) on Nimbus 5 and concluding with the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). Early instruments provided the first observations of rain over the ocean but quantitative retrievals were limited. The Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) improved rainfall estimates with additional channels and calibration. Profiling algorithms were developed to retrieve rain rates from passive microwave measurements over ocean. TRMM introduced the first spaceborne precipitation radar to further advance quantitative rainfall measurements from space.

The document discusses spaceborne microwave observations of rain from 1972 to 1997, beginning with the launch of the Electrically Scanned Microwave Radiometer (ESMR) on Nimbus 5 and concluding with the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). Early instruments provided the first observations of rain over the ocean but quantitative retrievals were limited. The Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) improved rainfall estimates with additional channels and calibration. Profiling algorithms were developed to retrieve rain rates from passive microwave measurements over ocean. TRMM introduced the first spaceborne precipitation radar to further advance quantitative rainfall measurements from space.

The document proposes a hybrid approach to estimating biophysical parameters from remote sensing data that combines a theoretical forward model with available reference samples. It aims to improve both accuracy and robustness of estimates. The approach formulates the estimation problem and characterizes the deviation between model outputs and observations using reference samples. An experimental analysis applies the approach to soil moisture estimation using microwave data, demonstrating improved performance over solely using the theoretical model.
IGRASS2011_Target detection_zhang bo.ppt
The document analyzes truck characteristics from Radarsat-2 quad-polarimetric SAR images taken at different sites, incidence angles, and aspect angles. Four types of trucks were imaged: a medium truck, carriage, larger truck, and tank truck. The analysis found that structure, rather than size, was the key factor affecting radar backscatter. As aspect angle changed from perpendicular to parallel, even bounce intensity first decreased then increased at 45 degrees. Larger incidence angles produced higher background clutter values but were more favorable for truck detection.
TH1.T04.2_MULTI-FREQUENCY MICROWAVE EMISSION OF THE EAST ANTARCTIC PLATEAU_IG...
The document summarizes a study that used ground-based and satellite microwave radiometer data to understand the multi-frequency microwave emission properties of the East Antarctic plateau. Key findings include:
1) Ground-based radiometer measurements from the Domex-2 experiment at Dome C, Antarctica showed the plateau surface has very stable brightness temperatures over timescales of months, suitable for calibration of satellite sensors.
2) Comparison to SMOS satellite data showed good agreement in temporal trends, though some jumps in Domex data were attributed to wind effects.
3) Both Domex and SMOS data exhibited increasing brightness temperature with decreasing observation angle, as expected for a smooth uniform surface.

Tandem-L aims to improve on current missions by offering 3-10 m resolution with weekly coverage. Its digital beamforming radar system could measure deformation, ice flow, water levels, and generate digital terrain models. The mission would advance understanding of processes like deforestation, forest biomass change, biodiversity, landslides, and help monitor essential climate variables.
IGARSS2011_Koyama_Schneider.pptx
The document presents a study on retrieving soil moisture under vegetation using dual polarized ALOS PALSAR data. Field measurements were taken at a test site to measure soil properties and vegetation characteristics. PALSAR data from multiple dates was processed to generate HH, HV backscatter and alpha, entropy, and span images. A grassland soil moisture retrieval model was developed that accounts for effects of the grass canopy and thatch layer on the radar signal. The model was able to estimate high resolution surface soil moisture patterns and distributions without using prior vegetation information.

litvinenko_Henry_Intrusion_Hong-Kong_2024.pdf
We investigated the applicability and efficiency of the MLMC approach to the Henry-like problem with uncertain porosity, permeability and recharge. These uncertain parameters were modelled by random fields with three independent random variables. Permeability is a function of porosity. Both functions are time-dependent, have multi-scale behaviour and are defined for two layers. The numerical solution for each random realisation was obtained using the well-known ug4 parallel multigrid solver. The number of random samples required at each level was estimated by calculating the decay of the variances and the computational cost for each level.
The MLMC method was used to compute the expected value and variance of several QoIs, such as the solution at a few preselected points $(t,\bx)$, the solution integrated over a small subdomain, and the time evolution of the freshwater integral. We have found that some QoIs require only 2-3 mesh levels and samples from finer meshes would not significantly improve the result. Other QoIs require more grid levels.

Presentation 7 a ce 904 Hydrology by Rabindra Ranjan Saha, PEng
The document describes methods for calculating river discharge, including the area-velocity method and slope-area method. The area-velocity method divides the river cross section into segments, calculates the average width and velocity for each, and sums the segmental discharges. The slope-area method estimates discharge over a long reach based on the high flood level, total flow area, slope of the water surface, and whether the reach is contracting or expanding.

DISTANCE TWO LABELING FOR MULTI-STOREY GRAPHS
An L (2, 1)-labeling of a graph G (also called distance two labeling) is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the non negative integers {0,1,…, k }such that |f(x)-f(y)| ≥2 if d(x, y) =1 and | f(x)- f(y)| ≥1 if d(x, y) =2. The L (2, 1)-labeling number λ (G) or span of G is the smallest k such that there is a f with
max {f (v) : vє V(G)}= k. In this paper we introduce a new type of graph called multi-storey graph. The distance two labeling of multi-storey of path, cycle, Star graph, Grid, Planar graph with maximal edges and its span value is determined. Further maximum upper bound span value for Multi-storey of simple
graph are discussed.

SEGMENTATION OF POLARIMETRIC SAR DATA WITH A MULTI-TEXTURE PRODUCT MODEL
1) The document describes a segmentation algorithm for polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data that can model both scalar-texture and multi-texture scattering.
2) The algorithm uses log-cumulants and hypothesis testing to determine whether a scalar-texture or dual-texture model best fits the data within each segment.
3) The algorithm is tested on simulated multi-texture PolSAR data and is shown to accurately segment the classes and estimate their texture parameters. However, when applied to real data sets, the algorithm only finds the simpler scalar-texture case.

The document summarizes research using SBAS-DInSAR (Small BAseline Subset differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar) techniques to analyze ground deformation at Mt. Etna volcano in Italy over the last 18 years using ERS and ENVISAT satellite data. The analysis revealed three main deformation processes: inflation of the volcanic edifice, subsidence of sectors on the eastern flank due to gravitational spreading, and deflation-inflation cycles associated with eruptive and post-eruptive activity. More recent analysis using higher resolution COSMO-SkyMed data from 2009-2010 detected deformation related to faults and a 2010 earthquake more precisely than lower resolution ENVISAT data.

This study analyzed crustal deformation in the seismically active Patras Gulf region of Greece using GPS data. The GPS network was established in 1994 and expanded through additional campaigns in 1996, 2006, and 2011. The data show the Patras Gulf is opening up at a rate of 8-13 mm/yr with uplift of 5 mm/yr in the south. A continuous GPS station revealed southeast horizontal motion of 17.4 mm/yr and a clear signal from the 2008 Mw 6.4 Andravida earthquake. The results indicate increasing extension across the gulf and smaller extension near the Rio-Antirrio bridge area.
