Identificação de ilhas de calor na área urbana de ilha Solteira - SP através da utilização de geotecnologias
(2010-09-01)
With climate change expected in the coming decades, scientists suggest that one of the consequences is the increase in average temperatures and also the increasing number of hot days, which will enhance the thermal discomfort ...
REMOTE SENSING OF SURFACE HEAT ISLANDS: EXAMPLES OF SMALL- AND MEDIUM - SIZED CITIES IN THE TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT, BRAZIL
(Univ Lisboa, Fac Letters, Centro Estudos Classicos, 2017-01-01)
The purpose of this article is to identify how island surface heat is spatialized in small - and medium - sized cities through the use of images of the thermal infrared channel of the Landsat 8 satellite. It thus intends ...
Thermal remote sensing of ice-debris landforms using ASTER: an example from the Chilean Andes
(CIENCIAS, 2012)
Remote sensors face challenges in characterizing mountain permafrost and ground thermal conditions or mapping rock glaciers and debris-covered glaciers. We explore the potential of thermal imaging and in particular thermal ...
Thermal remote sensing for global volcano monitoring: experiences from the MIROVA system
(Frontiers Media, 2020-01-27)
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 ...
Scintillometer networks for calibration and validation of energy balance and soil moisture remote sensing algorithms
(05/07/2007)
Accurate estimation of sensible and latent heat fluxes as well as soil moisture from remotely sensed satellite images poses a great challenge. Yet, it is critical to face this challenge since the estimation of spatial and ...
Using thermal UAV imagery to model distributed debris thicknesses and sub-debris melt rates on debris-covered glaciers
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)
Supraglacial debris cover regulates the melt rates of many glaciers in mountainous regions around the world, thereby modifying the availability and quality of downstream water resources. However, the influence of supraglacial ...
