This paper presents the algorithm developed in LSA-SAF (Satellite Application Facility for Land Surface Analysis) for the derivation of global vegetation parameters from the AVHRR (Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer) sensor onboard MetOp (Meteorological-Operational) satellites forming the EUMETSAT (European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) Polar System (EPS). The suite of LSA-SAF EPS vegetation products includes the leaf area index (LAI), the fractional vegetation cover (FVC), and the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR). LAI, FAPAR, and FVC characterize the structure and the functioning of vegetation and are key parameters for a wide range of land-biosphere applications. The algorithm is based on a hybrid approach that blends the generalization capabilities offered by physical radiative transfer models with the accuracy and computational efficiency of machine learning methods. One major feature is the implementation of multi-output retrieval methods able to jointly and more consistently estimate all the biophysical parameters at the same time. We propose a multi-output Gaussian process regression (GPRmulti), which outperforms other considered methods over PROSAIL (coupling of PROSPECT and SAIL (Scattering by Arbitrary Inclined Leaves) radiative transfer models) EPS simulations. The global EPS products include uncertainty estimates taking into account the uncertainty captured by the retrieval method and input error propagation. The consistent generation and distribution of the EPS vegetation products will constitute a valuable tool for monitoring of earth surface dynamic processes.

We describe the methodology applied for the retrieval of global LAI, FAPAR and FVC from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) onboard the Meteorological-Operational (MetOp) polar orbiting satellites also known as EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS
). A novel approach has been developed for the joint retrieval of three parameters (LAI, FVC, and FAPAR) instead of training one model per parameter. The method relies on multi-output Gaussian Processes Regression (GPR) trained over PROSAIL EPS simulations. A sensitivity analysis is performed to assess several sources of uncertainties in retrievals and maximize the positive impact of modeling the noise in training simulations. We describe the main features of the operational processing chain along with the current status of the global EPS vegetation products, including details about its overall quality and preliminary assessment of the products based on intercomparison with equivalent (MODIS, PROBA-V) satellite vegetation products.
We study the exact solution for two atomic particles in an optical lattice interacting via a Feshbach resonance. The analysis includes the influence of all higher bands, as well as the proper renormalization of molecular energy in the closed channel.
Using an expansion in Bloch waves, we show that the problem reduces to a simple matrix equation, which can be solved numerically very efficient. This exact solution allows for the precise determination of the parameters in the Hubbard model and the two-particle bound state energy. We identify the regime, where a single band Hubbard model fails to describe the scattering of the atoms as well as the bound states.
Vegetation is the natural linkage connecting soil, atmosphere and water. It can represent the change of land cover to a certain extent and serve as an indicator for global change research. Methods for measuring coverage can be divided into two types:
surface measurement and remote sensing. Because vegetation cover has significant spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics, remote sensing has become an important technical means to estimate vegetation coverage. This paper firstly uses U-net to perform remote sensing image semantic segmentation training, then uses the result of semantic segmentation, and then uses the integral progressive method to calculate the forestland change rate, and finally realizes automated valuation of woodland change rate.
A number of extragalactic jets show periodic structures at different scales that can be associated with growing instabilities. The wavelengths of the developing instability modes and their ratios depend on the flow parameters, so the study of those s
tructures can shed light on jet physics at the scales involved. In this work, we use the fits to the jet ridgeline obtained from different observations of S5 B0836$+$710 and apply stability analysis of relativistic, sheared flows to derive an estimate of the physical parameters of the jet. Based on the assumption that the observed structures are generated by growing Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability modes, we have run numerical calculations of stability of a relativistic, sheared jet over a range of different jet parameters. We have spanned several orders of magnitude in jet-to-ambient medium density ratio, and jet internal energy, and checked different values of the Lorentz factor and shear layer width. This represents an independent method to obtain estimates of the physical parameters of a jet. By comparing the fastest growing wavelengths of each relevant mode given by the calculations with the observed wavelengths reported in the literature, we have derived independent estimates of the jet Lorentz factor, specific internal energy, jet-to-ambient medium density ratio and Mach number. We obtain a jet Lorentz factor $gamma simeq 12$, specific internal energy of $varepsilon simeq 10^{-2},c^2$, jet-to-ambient medium density ratio of $etaapprox 10^{-3}$, and an internal (classical) jet Mach number of $M_mathrm{j}approx 12$. We also find that the wavelength ratios are better recovered by a transversal structure with a width of $simeq 10,%$ of the jet radius. This method represents a powerful tool to derive the jet parameters in all jets showing helical patterns with different wavelengths.
Purpose: To introduce a novel deep learning method for Robust and Accelerated Reconstruction (RoAR) of quantitative and B0-inhomogeneity-corrected R2* maps from multi-gradient recalled echo (mGRE) MRI data. Methods: RoAR trains a convolutional neur
al network (CNN) to generate quantitative R2* maps free from field inhomogeneity artifacts by adopting a self-supervised learning strategy given (a) mGRE magnitude images, (b) the biophysical model describing mGRE signal decay, and (c) preliminary-evaluated F-function accounting for contribution of macroscopic B0 field inhomogeneities. Importantly, no ground-truth R2* images are required and F-function is only needed during RoAR training but not application. Results: We show that RoAR preserves all features of R2* maps while offering significant improvements over existing methods in computation speed (seconds vs. hours) and reduced sensitivity to noise. Even for data with SNR=5 RoAR produced R2* maps with accuracy of 22% while voxel-wise analysis accuracy was 47%. For SNR=10 the RoAR accuracy increased to 17% vs. 24% for direct voxel-wise analysis. Conclusion: RoAR is trained to recognize the macroscopic magnetic field inhomogeneities directly from the input magnitude-only mGRE data and eliminate their effect on R2* measurements. RoAR training is based on the biophysical model and does not require ground-truth R2* maps. Since RoAR utilizes signal information not just from individual voxels but also accounts for spatial patterns of the signals in the images, it reduces the sensitivity of R2* maps to the noise in the data. These features plus high computational speed provide significant benefits for the potential usage of RoAR in clinical settings.
