Book Description
Quantification of the cloud frozen phase on a global basis is essential to fully capture and quantify the Earth energy budget and hydrological cycle. The estimation of frozen quantities from satellite remote sensing, however, is at a very early stage. The main reason is the complex variability of the cloud frozen phase and the lack of parameterizations of their microphysical properties, and thus radiative properties. This thesis contributes to the development of the ice cloud remote sensing, by providing a better understanding of the sensitivity of microwave and millimeter satellite observations to the microphysical properties of the frozen phase, specifically snow. Current microwave and millimeter observations are interpreted via radiative transfer simulations, mainly for passive observations, but active measurements are also considered. Two main studies are pursued: (1) the analysis and interpretation of specific polarized scattering signatures over ice and snow clouds, and (2) the simulation of realistic passive and active microwave responses over ice and snow clouds, and their evaluation with satellite observations. Polarized observations are carefully analyzed with ancillary data and are interpreted with radiative transfer simulations, including the first polarized passive observations above 100GHz with Megha-Tropiques. Finally, the radiative transfer model is coupled to a meso- scale cloud model to simulate consistently coincident active and passive observations of real scenes, and assess the sensitivity of active and passive simulations to the different microphysical parameters.

Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region
Author: Mehrez Zribi
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128180862
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region summarizes and collates scientific developments around water resources in the Mediterranean socio-economic environment through a multidisciplinary framework synthesizing hydrology, hydrogeology, climate, bioclimatology, economics, and geography. As such, it provides essential information for any reader looking to learn more about the Mediterranean which is experiencing the impact of climate change and concurrent complex issues of anthropogenic effects, especially in agriculture and other resource uses. Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region covers different challenges in the issue of the evolution of water resources in the Mediterranean. It is intended for PhD students, research scientists, and managers interested in new solutions and approaches for water management and in the forecast of future water dynamics. Offers multidisciplinary content providing global visions of the challenges faced in the Mediterranean region Presents fundamental and operational studies, providing the reader with information on how to implement these actions and results themselves Written in a pedagogical manner, allowing for ease of reading for both researchers and water managers
