EAGLE 2006 - Multi-purpose, multi-angle and multi-sensor in-situ and airborne campaigns over grassland and forest
2009
EAGLE2006 – an intensive field campaign for the advances in land surface hydrometeorological processes – was carried out in the Netherlands from 8th to 18th June 2006, involving 16 institutions with in total 67 people from 16 different countries. In addition to the acquisition of multi-angle and multi-sensor satellite data, several airborne instruments – an optical imaging sensor, an imaging microwave radiometer, and a flux airplane – were deployed and extensive ground measurements were conducted over one grassland site at Cabauw and two forest sites at Loobos and Speulderbos in the central part of the Netherlands. The generated data set is both unique and urgently needed for the developmen…
Green LAI Mapping and Cloud Gap-Filling Using Gaussian Process Regression in Google Earth Engine
2021
For the last decade, Gaussian process regression (GPR) proved to be a competitive machine learning regression algorithm for Earth observation applications, with attractive unique properties such as band relevance ranking and uncertainty estimates. More recently, GPR also proved to be a proficient time series processor to fill up gaps in optical imagery, typically due to cloud cover. This makes GPR perfectly suited for large-scale spatiotemporal processing of satellite imageries into cloud-free products of biophysical variables. With the advent of the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform, new opportunities emerged to process local-to-planetary scale satellite data using advanced machine …
Surface soil humidity retrieval by means of a semi-empirical coupled SAR model
2010
In the last years, the availability of new technologies of Earth Observation encouraged researches to use integrated approaches for environmental monitoring. Even for agro-hydrological applications, remotely sensed data are available on wide areas allowing the retrieval of cost-effective and representative estimation of high spatial and temporal variability of the soil-vegetation system variables. In particular, soil water content plays an important role determining the partition of precipitation between surface runoff and infiltration and, moreover, influences the distribution of the incoming radiation between latent and sensible heat flux. As a consequence, distributed soil water content …
EAGLE 2006 – multi-purpose, multi-angle and multi-sensor in-situ, airborne and space borne campaigns over grassland and forest

Personas izdošana kā starptautiskās sadarbības veida regulējums Eiropas Savienībā
2017
Jau gadsimtiem ilgi pasaule ir pazinusi noziedzību un tās dažādās izpausmes, līdz ar to cīņa pret to vienmēr ir bijusi valstu prioritāte, lai nodrošinātu drošu vidi tās iedzīvotājām. Tāpat ir zināms, ka noziedzība nepazīst valstu robežas – terorisms, organizētā noziedzība, noziedznieki, kuri cenšoties izvairīties no soda mēģina slēpties citās valstīs, ir visu valstu problēma ar kuru jācīnās kopīgiem spēkiem. Tieši tāpēc aizvien lielāku nozīmi iegūst sasvstarpējā valstu sadarbība. Viens no šādas sadarbības veidiem personas izdošana institūts. Maģistra darba ietvaros darba autore analizējusi regulējumu un aktuālos problēmjautājumus saistībā ar personas izdošanu Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstu …

On the effects of HV/MV stations on global grounding systems
2016
The METERGLOB project has faced the issue of the identification of Global Grounding Systems. One of the main point of the problem is to define if an interconnection of single grounding systems gives place to a Global Grounding System in any condition and for every kind of ground fault. This paper focuses the attention on what happens in the case of single line to ground fault inside a HV/MV station whose ground electrode is connected to the cable' shields of the MV lines outgoing the station and supplying the secondary substations of a given area.
Analysis of the Motor Vehicles Manufacturing Sector in Cataluña: Implementation with Radar Charts
2013
The representation of the average periods of maturation in the axes of a radial chart allows us to know the financial position reached by companies at the end of an economic year or in a certain period. The angular indicators obtained from the application of the cosine and sine theorems, according to plane geometry principles verify the deduction obtained from the observation of the radial chart and establish whether the result of each management areas displayed offers liquidez to the developed trading activity, or it is the financial positions regardless trading activity the ones which verifies the displayed financial position in the radial chart. The indicated ratio explains why companies…
Comparison between GPR measurements and ultrasonic tomography with different inversion algorithms: an application to the base of an ancient Egyptian …
2011
By late 2008 one of the most important pieces of the ‘Museo delle Antichit`a Egizie’ of Turin, the sculpture of the Pharaoh with god Amun, was planned to be one of the masterpieces of a travelling exhibition in Japan. The ‘Fondazione Museo delle Antichit`a Egizie di Torino’, who manages the museum, was concerned with the integrity of the base of the statue which actually presents visible signs of restoration dating back to the early 19th century. It was required to estimate the persistence of the visible fractures, to search for unknown ones and to provide information about the overall mechanical strength of the base. To tackle the first question a GPR reflection survey along three sides of…
Drones - New technologies for geophysics?
2015
Drones, also referred as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), are aircraft without pilot on board. USA is today the leading country in the field of UAS but recently, seven European countries have pledged to launch joint programs for drones, with the aim of producing the next generation of UAS before 2020. According to some studies on the potential market of UAS in Europe, the geoscience sector is definitely one of the most promising. In this paper, we bring a short description and classification of drones, according to their sized and shaped, with particular attention to the advantages and drawbacks of each type in reference to …
