ABSTRACT
From space, we can understand fires in ways that are impossible from the ground. New Earth-observing satellites capture the significant impact of fires on our planet. This animation moves from a sequence of global fires in 2002 to continental and close-up views of three significant fires in the western United States in the summer of that year, the Hayman fire, the Rodeo-Chediski fire, and the Biscuit fire. Particular emphasis is made on the correlation of measurements from different satellite sensors. These sensors show many atmospheric and terrestrial phenomena that influence or are influenced by the occurrence of fires on Earth. Copyright held by creator.

Performance analysis of triple-frequency ambiguity resolution with BeiDou observations
We investigate triple-frequency ambiguity resolution performance using real BeiDou data. We test four ambiguity resolution (AR) methods which are applicable to triple-frequency observations. These are least squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (...
Ionospheric tomography based on GNSS observations of the CMONOC: performance in the topside ionosphere
This study carries out a quantitative analysis of the performance of ionospheric tomography in the topside ionosphere, utilizing data of October 2011 collected from 260 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations in the Crustal Movement ...
FY-3D and FY-3C onboard observations for differential code biases estimation
With the development of Low Earth Orbit satellites, differential code biases (DCBs) estimation based on onboard observations has been widely studied. In this study, onboard observations of BDS and GPS satellites by the Chinese Fengyun-3D (FY-3D) and ...
