Timely and continuous information about flood spatiotemporal evolution are fundamental to ensure an effective implementation of the relief and rescue operations in case of inundation events. In this framework, satellite remote sensing may provide a v...

Northeast China is a major grain production area, an ecological important forest area, and the largest old industrial base which is now suffering from economic growth slowdown and brain drain. Accurate and long-term dynamic land cover maps are highly...

Numerous spectral indices have been developed to assess plant diversity. However, since they are developed in different areas and vegetation type, it is difficult to make a comprehensive comparison among these indices. The primary objective of this s...

Video supervision equipment, which is readily available in most cities, can record the processes of urban floods in video form. Ubiquitous reference objects, which often appear in videos, can be used to indicate urban waterlogging depths. This makes...

In this study, Himawari-8 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) longwave channel data that is sensitive to clouds and absorption gas were used to improve the accuracy of the algorithm used to calculate outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) at the top of the atm...

The significant wave height (SWH) of the sea is an important parameter and plays an important role in the prediction of waves and ocean dynamics. However, traditional methods, e.g., buoys or traditional remote sensing techniques such as X-band radar...

Artificial lands or islands reclaimed from the sea due to their vast land spaces and air are suitable for the construction of airports, harbors, and industrial parks, which are convenient for human and cargo transportation. However, the settlement pr...

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) methods, such as ground-based Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), have enabled collection of high-resolution point clouds of elevation data to calculate changes in fluvial systems after disturbance, but are often acc...

Scattering characterization of obliquely oriented buildings (OOBs) from polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data is challenging since the general double-bounce scattering does not support their dominant scattering mechanism. In this paper,...

The cargo handling capacity of a port is the most basic and important indicator of port size. Based on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program-Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) nighttime light data and panel model, this study attempts to es...
