Global spatiotemporal optimization of photovoltaic and wind power to achieve the Paris Agreement targets This study present a strategy involving construction of 22,821 photovoltaic, onshore-wind, and offshore-wind plants in 192 countries worldwide under cost minimization, emphasizing the physical and so...
Seasonal productivity of the equatorial Atlantic shaped by distinct wind-driven processes The seasonal timing of peak primary productivity in the eastern equatorial Atlantic is a result of wind-driven processes coinciding with increased surface nitrate supply, according to transect and mooring observations....
WorldWind is an open source virtual globe API. WorldWind allows developers to quickly and easily create interactive visualizations of 3D globe, map and geographical information. Organizations around the world use WorldWind to monitor weather patterns, visualize cities and terrain, track vehicle movement...
Finally, here’s a heatmap showing the density of fatal avalanches, with red areas having the highest densities. The cantons of Valais (in the southwest) and Grisons (in the east) have the highest concentrations of deadly avalanche accidents. I used a Landsat mosaic as a base map, which ...
Wind streak is a collective term for a variety of aeolian features that display distinctive albedo surface patterns. Wind streaks have been used to map near-surface winds and to estimate atmospheric circulation patterns on Mars and Venus. However, because wind streaks have been studied mostly on ...
Details of the Ukrainian roadmap for defeating Russia remain murky, but Zelensky has been giving regular updates on its progress. On Monday, he said it was more than 90% ready, while he now describes it as “fully prepared,” adding that “the most important thing is the determination to ...
b) Tree placement by employing a weight map and particle system; the final virtual remote sensing image from an overhead perspective. c) oblique view of the generated scene in 3D space. The lightning of a synthetic scene can also be controlled to simulate shadow properties, which might be ...
In Arizona, Allison is using Layerscape to create detailed models of the state’s landscape to help policymakers create ways to manage groundwater, map geothermal resources, and more. “With Layerscape, we can look not only across the surface and bring in all the geologic maps,” he says. ...
Fig. 2: Areas with abundant and reliable wind power. The map shows the minimum percentile rank across mean power density, seasonal variability, and weather variability. To indicate regions with potential for relatively strong and reliable wind generation, we give a high score if it has a high ...
genes that control Eu-biosorption (DatasetS1). The largest source of Eu-biosorption variability in the screen is due to bacterial density differences between mutants. For most mutants, the optical density of the culture at the start of the biosorption screen will map onto As-III absorption at ...
