It is shown that night-time thermal images can be employed, on which only the natural emission of water and natural features is registered, in the reliable detection of flood waters (nighttime brightness temperature of water is higher).","PeriodicalId":405012,"journal":{"name":"Mapping Sciences and Remote Sensing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124201260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strong inverse correlation between the mixing ratios for ozone and ClO observed during the SOAA period evidently can be attributed to the heterophase reactions of direct destruction of molecules of both chlorine nitrate and ozone on particle surfaces in polar stratospheric clouds. An increase in ClO concentration and decrease in ozone concentration during an SOAA period may be the result of a single factor causing temperature changes, and thus changes in the quantitative and qualitative parameters of polar stratospheric clouds.","PeriodicalId":405012,"journal":{"name":"Mapping Sciences and Remote Sensing","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127686828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
