Recently, however, several authors [Favier et al., 2012, hereafter FA; Hirota et al., 2011 (HH); Staver et al., 2011 (SA); Murphy & Bowman, 2012 (MB); Ratajczak & Nippert, 2012 (RN ], have attempted to quantify the prevalence of alternate stable states in the tropical savannas and forests of Africa, Australia and South America using a satellite-derived woody cover product (Hansen et al., 2003).
Fig. 1 The global forest condition [68], as visualised using satellite derived and modelled current and potential forest cover [88].
The results of testing three population mapping procedures with different levels of input census data against the high resolution Kenya enumeration area census data (figure 1), are shown in figure 4. At every level of input census data, EApop3, which used both the satellite derived settlement map and Africover data, produced the most accurate population distribution map.
Zhou, L. et al. A sensitivity study of climate and energy balance simulations with use of satellite derived emissivity data over the northern Africa and the Arabian peninsula.
Chalabi used a satellite phone to call Khalil for help.
Two departments gave community ophthalmologists the option to buy into satellite practices or use a satellite surgery center.
They rely on the use of: combinations of satellite derived climate-based data [ 13, 14], weather monitoring combined with disease surveillance [ 15], the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) [ 16], the El Niño Southern Oscillation phenomenon (ENSO) [ 17, 18], and soil moisture [ 19].
To demonstrate the purely spatial sampling selection using VQA, SUNY satellite-derived irradiance over Colorado on 4 September 2004 is used.
The goal of this paper was to accurately estimate AGB stocks at the watershed level in the Sudan Savannah zone using satellite images derived LULC data and adjusted allometric models based on data from non-destructive method.
The results have shown that in Tamanrasset the sudden and eventual high peaks of aerosol optical depth resulted in an important decrease of the daily energy produced by the plant; this reduction is not always observed when satellite derived DNI is used to input meteorological conditions in SAM due to the underestimation of the aerosol optical depth.
