Abstract: Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) infrared data were used to study the effect of land use on the diurnal surface temperature fluctuation. Five major land use types in southern Florida: the sandy soil ...

Abstract: Ecosystem restoration calls for reservoir reoperation. Traditionally, a minimum water release is set as a constraint for downstream ecosystem flow requirement. Recently, research has been conducted for the purpose of ...

Abstract: Confronted with diverse water management schemes, policymakers in arid basins face difficulty in choosing a particular scheme due to a lack of appropriate tools to estimate possible physical and economic outcomes in a ...

Abstract: The management of large river basins, such as the Yellow River Basin (YRB) in China, is complicated by distributed, localized decision processes and by mechanisms that coordinate local decisions and manage basin-level ...

Abstract: Confronted with diverse water management schemes, policymakers in arid basins face difficulty in choosing a particular scheme due to a lack of appropriate tools to estimate possible physical and economic outcomes in a ...

Abstract: Infrared digital data from geostationary satellites were used to demonstrate the usefulness of remotely sensed surface temperature data to delineate microscale and mesoscale climates. Nocturnal winter data (December-February) ...

Abstract: Surface temperature patterns of drained organic soil farmland in the Everglades Agricultural Area south of Lake Okeechobee, Florida, were studied using GOES-1 satellite infrared digital data for the winters of 1976?77 and ...

Abstract: Streams and their associated biological communities are among our most valuable natural resources. Humans rely on the environmental services provided by streams in a myriad of ways. However, in some areas, excessive ...
