The identification technique of hazardous clouds using infrared spectrometry is based on the spectral analysis of electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed and emitted by the molecules of a gas cloud. Molecules can be identified by analyzing the location of lines inside the spectrum, representing the energy differences between the cases involved and the strength of the lines, which is the probability of a photon being absorbed or emitted. This method is often called passive infrared spectrometry because no artifi...

Since the turn of the millennium, few scientific issues have become as popular in public discourse as climate change. Phenomena of climatological interest include the boundary layer of the atmosphere, circulation patterns, heat transfer (radiative, convective and latent), interactions between the atmosphere and oceans and the land surface, and the chemical and physical composition of the atmosphere. The main methods used by climatologists are analyzing observations and modeling the physical laws that govern climat...

The information obtained during remote sensing of our planet from space is used by a large complex of Earth sciences (in geography, geology, volcanology, geoinformatics, cartography, climatology, meteorology, oceanology, seismology, etc.), to solve applied problems in many areas of human activity and in other purposes. These «other» objectives generally refer to various aspects of military applications. Along with the obvious necessity and importance of using space methods in cartography and geodesy (recognition a...

One of the intensively developing complex scientific areas that finally took shape in the second half of the twentieth century is the study of the Earth and planets from aircraft and space vehicles. In the development of remote sensing, one of the most characteristic features of the genesis of science as a system of natural and technical knowledge of recent decades was manifested - the synthesis of various sciences. A retrospective analysis shows that remote sensing is at the intersection of sciences and various b...

Assessment of available geophysical and geological data for the Bulgarian Black sea shelf is presented in order to give a conception about the simplicity and functionality of the methodology of how the records are stored. Data on these disciplines provide valuable information about the history and the dynamic of the shelf and can be in use for numerous investigations. Geological, morphological, geophysical, geochronological findings show the changes in the shape and movements of this region from the aquatory, its ...

The research investigates the possibilities of using cloud technologies to supply the life cycle of satellite remote sensing of seas and oceans by using the examples of implementing a number of research projects. The need to control the condition of seas and oceans necessitates the timely receipt and complex processing of large amounts of satellite remote sensing data. Currently, these processes can be performed using cloud technologies. One case of implementing such technologies is the Google Earth Engine (GEE) c...

The article presents methodological approaches to the improvement of the environmental monitoring system. To increase the objectivity and to improve the visual aspects of data presentation during ecological monitoring, the authors proposed to involve remote sensing methods of the Earth and geoinformation technologies. The presented set of methods is effectively used for general, operational and background monitoring. The authors have developed an algorithm for monitoring the state of ecosystem components by remote...

It is no longer a novelty that for the socio-economic development of the society in which we live, the main resource is represented by information. Of the data and information that society faces on a daily basis, most have spatial reference. Thus, the field of Geographic Information Systems has become an interactive way of viewing and accessing the components of the geographical environment. For the management of natural disasters, a multi-temporal spatial data is required. Satellite remote sensing is the ideal to...

With the development of space and information technology, emergency monitoring using satellite data is gaining tremendous relevance. If we take into account the area of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2.7 million km2), there is an urgent need to create a unified space monitoring system for the most priority natural and man-made disasters. This article discusses the space monitoring system, its composition and functional diagram of the basic elements of the system and remote access services to the resources and results...

The paper discusses the conceptual issues of creating and using the information infrastructure of a multi-satellite system for Earth remote sensing (MS RS) to address a wide range of problems in the oil and gas industry. We analyzed the information needs arising from monitoring the state of oil and gas production, storage, transportation, and refining facilities, as well as the possibilities of meeting these needs in the framework of a promising MS RS created on the basis of a small spacecraft constellation. The c...

Due to the changes in global climate patterns, wildfires have recently become a significantly greater threat to both human settlements and the corresponding activities. The same degree of threats is applicable for numerous species of fauna and vegetation, all across the world, especially in arid climate areas. Scientists that have conducted research on the subject revealed that climate significantly influences the probability of certain areas towards being affected by wildfires, especially taking into consideratio...
