The Role of Irrigation on Precipitation in The Great Plains USA
ISBN: 9783639144390 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the relationship between irrigation and precipitation. The relationship is explored using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) as a proxy for irrigation use, the Spatial Synoptic Classification (SSC) as a means of classifying surface air mass type, and the use of five atmospheric flow types characterizing the synoptic flow pattern. Scenarios, at each irrigated region, involving PDSI and either air mass type or flow type were tested using both parametric and non parametric procedures. This approach yields results according to flow type and air mass type at times when...

The Domesday Geography of Midland England
ISBN: 9780521117616 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Domesday Book has long been used as a source of information about legal and economic matters, but its bearing upon the geography of medieval England has been comparatively neglected. The extraction of geographical information involves problems of interpretation, since it necessitates an analysis into elements and their subsequent reconstruction on a geographical basis. But when this has been done, new materials for making a general picture of the relative prosperity of different areas are available as well as data for the comparative study of varying geographic and economic factors. The...

GIS for Air Search and Rescue
ISBN: 9783639136753 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Search and Rescue (SAR) operations aim at finding missing objects with minimum time in a determined area. Limiting search area is the critical decision- making part for SAR operations. There are fundamentally two problems in these operations. The first problem is assessing highly reliable probability distribution maps, and the second is determining the search pattern that sweeps the area from air as fast as possible. This book presents use of geographic information systems (GIS) and multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) in an integrated way within the framework of Search Theory. GIS helps...
