By modulating the Earth-atmosphere energy, hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, affecting regional-to-global weather climate, biomass burning is recognized as one of major factors global carbon cycle. However, few comprehensive wide-ranging experiments have been conducted to characterize biomass-burning pollutants in Southeast Asia (SEA) or assess their regional impact on meteorology, cycle, radiative budget, climate change. Recently, BASE-ASIA (Biomass-burning Aerosols South-East Asia:...
Anthropogenic activities have significantly reshaped the environmental landscape and altered land composition, thereby negatively affecting structures functions of ecosystem. Paradoxically, complex conditions procedures ecosystem operations generate a range goods services on which humans rely upon to thrive. This study examines land-use transition service value changes in Nha Trang, Vietnam order understand quantify impacts urbanisation patterns ecosystems. Changes were acquired based...
Abstract. On 8 August 2009, the extreme rainfall of Typhoon Morakot triggered enormous landslides in mountainous regions southern Taiwan, causing catastrophic infrastructure and property damages human casualties. A comprehensive evaluation is essential for post-disaster reconstruction should be helpful future hazard mitigation. This paper presents a systematic approach to utilize multi-temporal satellite images other geo-spatial data assessment on regional scale. Rigorous orthorectification...
Abstract The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) land use (LU) data employed in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model classify most LU types Taiwan as mixtures of irrigated cropland forest, which is not an accurate representation current conditions. WRF released after version 3.1 provides alternative dataset retrieved from 2001 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite products. MODIS correctly identify LU-type distributions, except that they represent western...
Since 1990 the Hanoi capital region (or metropolitan area) in Vietnam has undergone rapid development, which gone together with increasing socio-economic growth and prosperity. However, environmental degradation that accompanied urban development raised considerable concern from public recent years. This research investigates effects of on sprawl, heat island (UHI), weather phenomena are related to quality life period 1999–2016. To achieve these objectives, remote sensing technologies were...
In this study, the aerosol optical properties and vertical distributions in major biomass-burning emission area of northern Indochina were investigated using ground-based remote sensing (i.e., four Sun-sky radiometers one lidar) during Seven South East Asian Studies/Biomass-burning Aerosols & Stratocumulus Environment: Lifecycles Interactions Experiment conducted spring 2014. Despite high spatial variability depth (AOD; which at 500 nm ranged from 0.75 to 1.37 depending on site), temporal...
Exploring the effects of different types PM2.5 is necessary to reduce associated deaths, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Hence we determined ambient before exploring their on under-five maternal mortality Africa. The spectral derivate aerosol optical depth (AOD) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products 2000 2015 were employed determine using Generalized Linear Additive Mixed-Effect models with Poisson link function explore associations...
The present study utilizes air quality modeling to probe the sources and characteristics of PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter) at northern tip Taiwan (CAFE station) early stage Asian haze period. Since CAFE is first place that influenced by coming from north, this focused on wind field, concentration, composition CAFE. During research period (Oct. 16, 2015, Nov. 15, 2015), four episodes occurred This classified these into three types, according their sources:...
Abstract External exposure to gamma-photon irradiation from soil contamination due nuclear power plant (NPP) accidents has significant contribution human radiation in the proximity of NPP. Detailed absorbed doses organs are rarely reported literature. We applied M onte C arlo N eutron P article (MCNP) transport code calculate and compare different organs. The by were cesium-137 ( 137 Cs) contaminated two major NPP accidents. More serious wide-spread impacts Chernobyl accident on Ukraine,...
In the context of increasing climate change and rapid urban expansion in Ho Chi Minh City, rising temperatures pose significant heat stress health risks to residents. Assessing vulnerability is crucial for improving thermal comfort achieving sustainable development. However, there limited research on within Local Climate Zones (LCZs), which are essential understanding relationship between form exposure. This study integrates Heat Vulnerability Index (HVI) with LCZ analysis evaluate across...
HyperSCAN (Hyper Spectral Camera ANalyzer) is a hyperspectral imager which monitors the Earth’s environment and also an educational platform to integrate college students’ ideas skills in optical design data processing. The advantages of are that it designed for modular design, compact lightweight, low-cost using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. allows flexible rapid development, as well validation within lab environments. To optimize space utilization reduce path, HyperSCAN’s...
The Community Multi-scale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) is used to simulate the long-range transport of biomass burning (BB) pollutants from Southeast Asia (SEA) towards Taiwan Central Mountain Range (CMR) in March and April 2010. results show that a proportion BB plume was blocked compressed at windward side CMR. High-altitude shown influence air quality on ground via three mechanisms: (1) subsidence anticyclone, (2) downward motion cold surge, (3) vertical mixing boundary layer over land. Two...
The Asian–Australian Monsoon (AAM), the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) have been known to induce variability in ocean surface characteristics along southern coast of Lesser Sunda Island (LSI). However, previous studies used low spatial resolution data little Ekman dynamics analysis. This study aims investigate direct influence AAM winds on conditions determine how ENSO IOD affect depth with higher data. In addition, is also described inconsistent...
