ESA PR 42-2004 - It is now possible to track the position and speed of each rider in the Tour de France in real-time thanks to the EGNOS European satellite positioning system, a preparatory programme for the Galileo system.
Customisation of GeoMedia Grid for Landform Classification Posted on July 05, 2004 Current research at Curtin University, Western Australia endeavours to formulate a methodology for determining homogeneous land management units (LMUs) that can be used for site-specific crop management approaches in precision agriculture.
Computer Model Monitors Dangerous Surf Conditions Posted on July 02, 2004 NOAA's WAVEWATCH III numerical ocean-wave prediction computer model can provide important information about potentially dangerous surf conditions resulting from storms hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
A Scalable Wildland Fire Risk Assessment Mitigating the Effects of Wildfires Posted on June 29, 2004 The news is replete with images of wildfire, among them the Grand Prix and Cedar Fires in Southern California, the Biscuit Fire in Oregon, and the Hayman Fire in Colorado (Figure 1). The loss of millions of acres and thousands of homes have significantly affected countless lives. Because of the devastating economic and human impacts of these events, there is high value in addressing how to mitigate the effects of wildland fires.
Using High Resolution Imagery and Internet Mapping to Patrol the U.S. Borders Posted on June 28, 2004 The United States Border Patrol has the difficult job of monitoring and patrolling the US borders with Mexico and Canada. They have recently implemented a new Intranet web-based tracking solution that combines familiar border systems with high resolution imagery and vector mapping capabilities.
Integrated Earth Observation Systems Continue To Gain Momentum at National and International Levels Posted on May 25, 2004 NOAA operates a complex network of observing systems consisting of satellites and an extensive surface network of towers, balloons, buoys and aircraft. NOAA — or the United States for that matter — alone cannot create a global observing system. scientific benefits of an integrated Earth observation system can only be achieved as an international effort.
