(Elsevier, 2017)Offshore wind energy potential and its technical and economic feasibility were determined in Chile. Wind speed data from ERA-Interim reanalysis 10 m above the sea surface between 1979 and 2014 was used. The capacity factor ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017)Monitoring evapotranspiration in arid and semi-arid environments plays a key role in water irrigation scheduling for water use efficiency. This work presents an operational method for evapotranspiration retrievals based ...
-
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2016)This work presents the calibration and evaluation of an optical-passive microwave method for retrieving soil moisture (SM) at regional scale using remote sensing and reanalysis data. Several data sets were used, such as ...
-
(MDPI, 2018-05)The evidence for global warming can be seen in various forms, such as glacier shrinkage, sea ice retreat, sea level rise and air temperature increases. The magnitude of these changes tends to be critical over pristine and ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Remote sensing and climate digital products have become increasingly available in recent years. Access to these products has favored a variety of Digital Earth studies, such as the analysis of the impact of global warming ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014)Evapotranspiration (ETd) is a key controller in the ecohydrological processes of semi-arid landscapes. This is the case of the dry land in Chile’s central-southern zone, where forestry, farming and livestock activities ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Remote sensing techniques are a useful tool for continuous observation of the Earth at global scale. However, products derived from remote sensing data require a rigorous validation using in situ data. Moderate Resolution ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014)This work describes the first in-flight absolute calibration of the ‘‘Sistema Satelital para la Observación de la Tierra’’ (SSOT or Fasat-C). It was performed on January 29th 2013 at Antumapu site located in the southern area ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)This paper presents the Global Atmospheric Profiles derived from Reanalysis Information (GAPRI) database, which was designed for earth surface temperature retrieval. GAPRI is a comprehensive compilation of selected atmospheric ...
-
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2020)Remote sensing of litter is foreseen to become an important source of additional information relevant to scientific awareness about plastic pollution. Here, we document directional hemispherical reflectance measurements ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2013)Para la planificación y gestión de los recursos hídricos se requiere conocer no sólo la cantidad de agua que llega a la superficie terrestre, sino también el agua que sale de la superficie como evapotranspiración (ET). ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)This paper presents the first estimate of offshore wind power potential for the central coast of Chile. For this purpose, wind speed data from in-situ stations and ERA-Interim reanalysis were used to simulate wind fields ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Farmers in the temperate zone of southern Chile have started to irrigate historically rainfed pastures during recent years to reduce dairy productivity losses against increasingly severe summer droughts. The lack of ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2016)The absolute radiometric calibration of a satellite sensor is the critical factor that ensures the usefulness of the acquired data for quantitative applications on remote sensing. This work presents the results of the first ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)The Cordillera Blanca, located in the central zone of the Andes Mountains in Peru, has shown a retreat in its glaciers. This paper presents a trend analysis of the glacier area over the groups of Nevados Caullaraju- Pastoruri ...
-
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015)The application of Earth observation sensor data in quantitative approaches calls on the conversion of original digital numbers to radiometric quantities such as radiance or reflectance. This conversion depends on the ...
-
(Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS), 2017)Chile is located in the far SW of South America. It occupies an area of 756,100 km2, making it the world’s longest country and, possibly also the narrowest. It has a population of 17 million, with a growth rate of 1%, ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)Although wild birds are considered the main reservoir of the influenza A virus (IAV) in nature, empirical investigations exploring the interaction between the IAV prevalence in these populations and environmental drivers ...
-
(Wiley, 2011)The spatial and temporal variations of atmospheric precipitable water (PW) content anomalies were analysed over Europe from 1973 to 2003 using daily data (0000 and 1200 UTC) from National Center of Environmental Prediction ...
