The Flux Divergence Method Applied to Nitrogen Emissions in The Netherlands

Emission of ammonia and nitrogen oxides puts pressure on vulnerable ecosystems in The Netherlands. Satellite data from TROPOMI and CrIS gives vertical column density (VCD) maps for nitrogen dioxide and ammonia respectively. The Flux-Divergence method converts a VCD map to an emission map, by temporally averaging the divergence of the flux of the...

Gathering a Machine Learning dataset for object detection from a satellite-platform: On bandwidth-efficient gathering of a Machine Learning dataset for Object Detection with Faster-RCNN from a satellite-platform

In the past years, small Earth Observation (EO) satellites have become increasingly capable of taking high-resolution images at high sample rates. These images contain valuable information for different sectors, such as the agricultural and military sector. Furthermore they can contain important information about the climate and climate change....

Flood Forecasting Using Passive Microwave Radiometry in the Zambezi River, Zambia

Humans have always populated in the vicinity of river systems, where thesupply of water, nourishment and transportation is obtained from the river.However, inundation is a re-occurring problem and impact of floods are ex-pected to increase due to climate change. Accurate flood forecasting andearly warning is critical for disaster risk management...

Improvement of the instrumental model for the MICROSCOPE space mission

The Equivalence Principle is today challenged by some theories attempting to unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The MICROSCOPE mission thus intents to confirm or overturn this principle by testing the universality of free fall in space with an unrivaled precision objective of 10^-15. The principle of the test relies on the precise...
