The Arctic climate system is changing dramatically as a response to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Key indicators of Arctic change include thinning and retreating of Arctic pack ice, thawing permafrost, greening tundra, and rising surface temperatures. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer influences and is influenced by processes...
Factors affecting animal detection and identification
by remote sensing are compiled and described. Habitat preference
and animal behavior are shown to be the variables that most
influence detection and identification. An analysis of the
basis of application of thermal infrared sensors to animal
detection covering the principles of infrared radiation...
