A pioneer in rocket and satellite technology, Singer devised the basic instrument for measuring stratospheric ozone, was the principal investigator on a satellite experiment retrieved by the space shuttle in 1990, and was the first scientist to predict that population growth would increase atmospheric methane—an important greenhouse gas. [Pg.13]

The methods of remote sounding of C02 fluxes are mainly based on NDVI measurements (Burgheimer et al., 2006 Myeong et al., 2006) using various satellite technologies as well as in situ measurements with SCIAMACHY carried by satellites of the ESA series. The surface resolution of SCIAMACHY constitutes 320 km, and the frequency of measurements is 36 hours. [Pg.304]

Hydrazine is commercially available as aqueous solutions and, in smaller quantities, in the form of salts. Hydrazine forms a high boiling point azeotrope with water, whose composition is close to a 1 1 molar ratio, corresponding to 64% hydrazine. This solution is known as hydrazine hydrate . The capacity statistics in table 1.4-1 relate to hydrazine hydrate . Anhydrous hydrazine is only produced in very small quantities for special applications in satellite technology. [Pg.43]

The lower part of the atmosphere has been continuously studied over many years through meteorological programs. The development of rocket and satellite technology during the past 40 years has also led to the investigation of the upper atmosphere, establishing a new field of research. [Pg.2]

The area of Colorado does not normally vary from time to time, so the question here is whether the accuracy of the measurements is good to six significant figures. It would be possible to achieve such accuracy using satellite technology, provided the legal boimdaries are known with sufficient accuracy. [Pg.24]

The Communications Satellite Act was passed in 1962 with the intention of making the United States a worldwide leader in communications satellite technology so that it could encourage peaceful relations with other nations. This act also established the Communications Satellite Corporation (Comsat), with headquarters in Washington, D.C. [Pg.382]

Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS makes use of communications satellite technology for navigational purposes. The GPS was first developed by the government for military applications but has become widely used in civilian applications in products such as cars and mobile phones. [Pg.383]
