[REPORT SUMMARY] Algortihm for assimilation of satellite soil moisture information to update hydrological forecasting model in WSFS
We expect to improve flood forecast accuracy with better real time information of soil moisture. Which helps in better flood mitigation, flood warning and reservoir operation.
At the moment the first test applications have been made with the hydrological forecasting system. P...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Detection of buried fault scarp on the west Helike fault with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
In order to assess whether the western Eliki Fault has experienced recent tectonic reactivation, ground-penetrating radar surveys were made across a stepped sequence of morphological scarps along the main escarpment base. GPR investigations were focussed on the Nikolaiika Fan ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Analysis of the accuracy of real time runoff forecasts in a boreal
The further development of the hydrological model and data assimilation algorithm for the Finnish flood forecasting system (SYKE-WSFS) was finished in 2004. The effect of the SCA observations on the accuracy of the forecasts was tested by making forecasts over spring period wi...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Correction of georeferencing and detection of errors in DEMs
A surface matching algorithm has been applied for the accurate registration of digital elevation models into the same coordinate system and thus for the correction of errors in the georeferencing of the DEMs. The difference images after surface matching reveal distortions in t...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Baseline
The NEMESIS model provides baseline scenario describing national and sectoral trends for European countries (the 15 European members plus Norway) on 2005-2030, and thus highlights main challenges that Europe should meet in the next 25 year.
The European growth does not excee...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Measuring / modeling dispersal
In 2001 and 2002, Workpackages 2-6 collected seeds of five species from five countries (UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, the Czech Republic). The species were chosen from those assigned to different cells of a colonisation/longevity matrix previously established by TRANSP...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Detection of day-night patterns in CO2 column signal retrieved from TOVS instrument
The first retrievals of CO2 from space using the observations from the TOVS instrument on the NOAA polar satellites exhibit credible upper troposphere CO2 concentration patterns (Chedin et al., 2003). This pioneering work demonstrates that remote sensing of CO2 from space is a...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Aerosol scattering coefficients
Summary:
Spectral aerosol scattering coefficients were measured at a coastal site on a mountain 900m asl.
Description of Result:
Spectral scattering coefficients in the wavelength range between 450 and 700 nm, measured with integrating nephelmeters. The measurements are avail...
