  1. 1. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ainahu Abdul Hamid; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation optical depth; Temperate Forest; Climate; LPJ-GUESS; Evapotranspiration; Leaf water potential; Isohydricity; Hydraulic failure; Carbon starvation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. READ MORE

  3. 2. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.

  4. 3. Microwave Radar Implementation in Outdoor Home Alarm Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Isabelle Larsson; Gustaf von Plomgren; [2020]
    Keywords : radar; microwave radar; home alarm systems; home alarm; alarm; passive infrared; PIR; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The use of short range microwave radars for motion sensing purposes are on the rise in multiple industries, as they are accurate, small in size and relatively cheap. The automotive industry, in particular, has pushed the development forward. Lately, the home alarm industry has also been glancing at the technology. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of high-resolution satellite precipitation products with ground-based measurements over Europe

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Svea Bertolatus; [2020]
    Keywords : Precipitation; satellite product evaluation; passive microwave; estimates; Europe; ground- based gauge data; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Determining water quantity of precipitation, spatially and temporally is fundamental for weather forecasting, applications in hydrology and meteorology, climate science and for agriculture and industry. Only satellite measurements from space are able to perform large-scale measurements covering both, ocean and land. READ MORE
