ERDAS Field Guide


Book Description

This book is designed for a widely diverse audience, from those new to geoprocessing to veteran industry users. For newcomers, the Guide "provides a brief history of the field, an extensive glossary of terms, and notes about applications for the different processes described." For more experienced users, the Guide "includes the formulas and algorithms that are used in the code," so that exactly how each operation works can be readily seen. -- from Introduction.







NCO USER GD


Book Description

This manual describes NCO, which stands for netCDF Operators. NCO is a suite of programs known as operators. Each operator is a standalone, command line program executed at the shell-level like, e.g., ls or mkdir. The operators take netCDF files (including HDF5 files constructed using the netCDF API) as input, perform an operation (e.g., averaging or hyperslabbing), and produce a netCDF file as output. The operators are primarily designed to aid manipulation and analysis of data. The examples in this documentation are typical applications of the operators for processing climate model output. This stems from their origin, though the operators are as general as netCDF itself.

Arctic-Subarctic Ocean Fluxes


Book Description

We are only now beginning to understand the climatic impact of the remarkable events that are now occurring in subarctic waters. Researchers, however, have yet to agree upon a predictive model that links change in our northern seas to climate. This volume brings together the body of evidence needed to develop climate models that quantify the ocean exchanges through subarctic seas, measure their variability, and gauge their impact on climate.
