Record 4 2002-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
  • Oceanography
CONT

A satellite platform with its synoptic view and capability to provide spatially continuous data on a repetitive basis is ideal for the study of oceans. Realising the vast potential of satellite remote sensing techniques, the Department of Ocean Development is implementing a project entitled "Marine Satellite Information Service"(MARSIS)... Data and imageries from NOAA(National Ocean & Atmospheric Administration), IRS, INSAT, LANDSAT, GEOSAT, ERS satellites are used for generation of data products. Drifting and moored buoys are deployed by NIO [National Institute of Oceanography], Goa for collection of sea truth data on sea surface temperature, salinity, wind speed, etc.

PHR

Collection of sea truth.

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
  • Océanographie
CONT

L'imagerie satellitaire. [...] Les apports récents de l'imagerie satellitaire (thermographie et couleur de l'océan) [...] permettent de compléter utilement la connaissance de la variabilité physique et biologique du Mor-Bras et surtout d'avoir une couverture spatiale très complète. [...] L'acquisition de vérité mer à partir de navire océanographique restent toutefois nécessaire pour calibrer et exploiter les mesures du satellite.

PHR

Record 5 2002-06-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Development of the American designed Aerobee and Viking rockets occurred in the late 1940's, with the first launch of the U. S. Air Force Aerobee rocket in 1949. These rockets contained instruments that sampled the upper atmosphere. However most of these liquid-propelled rockets were too large, complicated and costly to make detailed measurements on a routine synoptic type basis.

Record 7 2002-04-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
DEF

development : Term generally applied in synoptic meteorology to the intensification of depressions or anticyclones.

CONT

Upper-level westerly or southwesterly winds from a tropical cyclone can create a downstream environment to the east that is favorable for the development [formation] or intensification of another tropical cyclone, despite the appearance (on satellite imagery) of strong westerly shear across the downstream tropical cyclone.

CONT

... winds tend to blow into low-pressure areas because air moves from areas of higher pressure into areas of lower pressure. As winds blow into a low, the air can be uplifted. This uplift of air can lead to the development of a depression with clouds and rain.

PHR

Intensification of a cyclone.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Météorologie
DEF

Terme généralement appliqué, en météorologie synoptique, à l'activité et à la force des dépressions ou des anticyclones

CONT

Les images prises par Meteosat dans l'infrarouge se sont avérées particulièrement utiles pour surveiller l'intensification des dépressions du 5 au 9 [...] juillet.

PHR

Intensification des dépressions, des anticyclones.

Record 8 1999-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
CONT

After a cold front passes Mayport and becomes stationary across Florida or over the Gulf of Mexico, a warm front potential is present. If the warm front passage occurs during the daytime, cumulus clouds with scattered shower activity and cirrus clouds are observed in the warm sector. If frontal passage is during the night, low stratus overcast usually follows the front. Stations west and southwest of Mayport will realize first indications of this synoptic development.
