Here we show how the interferometric mode of CryoSat-2 can be used to map broad (5 km-wide) swaths of surface elevation with fine (500 m) spatial resolution from each satellite pass, providing a step-change in the capability of satellite altimetry for glaciology.
In 1647, after years of observations, Johannes Hevelius published the first lunar map and painted large swaths of the surface blue.
The planet's tilt also means that at certain times its rings block sunlight from reaching large swaths of the surface.
The instrument then rotates its direction slightly, firing another pulse at a neighboring point, and so on, scanning a swath of the statue's surface.
Planetary scientist David Grinspoon, curator of astrobiology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, calls the concept of exploring a wide swath of a planet's surface with smart miniprobes "a wonderful idea".
In addition, a new selection was carried out with a slightly longer pool (N62) in order to identify aptamers that might cover larger swaths of the NgR surface and thereby prevent binding of multiple inhibitors.
Both detergents caused large swaths of the epithelial surface to become intensely fluorescent, regions in which virtually every cell nucleus became highly fluorescent.
Amy S. Mitchell, deputy director of Pew's journalism project, said Media Cloud "offers the public a great opportunity to play around with looking at a wide swath of media at more of a surface level".
His department has issued a notice of violation to the county public works department for using equipment during spraying on Bay Avenue that delivered pesticide in a 300-foot swath, when surface water was within 41 feet of the road.
The consensus is that the plane descended into this last remaining swath of unexplored ocean – but the estimated area, already searched by air for evidence of surface debris, is as large as Tasmania.
