L'apport de la télédétection à un modèle de neige appliqué à un système d'aide à la gestion des barrages dans le sud du Québec
… watershed.The study also shows the potential of QSCAT data for the characterization of snow cover. Overall accuracies around 90% are obtained for the detection of melt during the month of April from 2001 to 2007 on both studied watersheds.The relation between the rise of the backscatter …

Microwave Remote Sensing of Saharan Ergs and Amazon Vegetation
… the SeaWinds scatterometer aboard QuikScat (QSCAT), and the Precipitation Radar (TRMM-PR) aboard the Tropical Rain Monitoring Mission (TRMM) are used to model the backscatter response from sand dunes. Backscatter incidence and azimuth angle variation depends upon the slopes and orientations …

Time variability of sea surface parameters in the tropical Atlantic using satellite and in situ data
… made by the TMI sensor, in conjunction with the Qscat wind data showed that the atmospheric fields are highly correlated with the SST fields at the timescale associated with the TIW.<br/>The analysis of the cross-scale relationship suggests that the passage of instability waves might affect the …

Microwave Remote Sensing of the Greenland Ice Sheet: Models and Applications
… Microwave Imager (SSM/I), SeaWinds on QuikSCAT (QSCAT), and ERS. A new method of melt detection is introduced that is based on a simple physical model relating the moisture content and depth of a layer of wet surface snow to a single channel melt detection threshold. The model can be applied to …

Polar Sea Ice Mapping for SeaWinds
In recent years, the scientific community has expressed interest in the ability to observe global climate indicators such as polar sea ice. Advances in microwave remote sensing technology have allowed a large-scale and detailed study of sea ice characteristics. This thesis provides the analysis and …
