⚠️ Cyclone Warnings🌪️🌪️🌪️Cyclone Amphan

ഉം പുൻ ചുഴലിക്കാറ്റ്: ബംഗാൾ ഉൾക്കടലിൽ ന്യൂനമർദ്ദം ഇന്ന് വൈകുന്നേരത്തോടെ ചുഴലികാറ്റായി മാറും.

ശനിയാഴ്ച വൈകുന്നേരത്തോടെ അതിതീവ്ര ന്യൂനമർദ്ദത്തിലേക്കും തുടർന്നുള്ള 24 മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളിൽ ചുഴലിക്കാറ്റിലേക്കും അതിശക്തമാകാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്.

അടുത്ത 48 മണിക്കൂർ കേരളത്തിൽ ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ട ശക്തമായ മഴയുണ്ടാകും.

അതേസമയം, തെക്കൻ ഇന്ത്യൻ ഉപദ്വീപിൽ അടുത്ത 4-5 ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ വ്യാപകമായ മഴ / ഇടിമിന്നലോടുകൂടിയ മിന്നലും കാറ്റും വീശും.

അടുത്ത 5 ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ കേരളത്തിലും, മെയ് 16 -17 മുതൽ തീരദേശ കർണാടക, ലക്ഷദ്വീപ് എന്നിവിടങ്ങളിലും ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ട കനത്ത മഴ പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കാം.

അടുത്ത 5 ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ വടക്കുകിഴക്കൻ സംസ്ഥാനങ്ങളിൽ വ്യാപകമായ മഴ പെയ്യാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്.

📢📢📢

Cyclone Amphan: Depression in Bay of Bengal to turn into severe storm by today evening.

Likely to intensify rapidly into a cyclonic storm by Saturday evening and then into a severe cyclonic storm during the subsequent 24 hours.

Next 48 hours is favourable for sporadic rain over Kerala Region.

Meanwhile, scattered to widespread rain & thunder showers accompanied with lightning and gusty winds is expected over south peninsular India during the next 4-5 days.

Isolated heavy rainfall activity over Kerala during the next 5 days, over Coastal Karnataka and Lakshadweep on late May 16 and 17.

Northeastern states are likely to experience scattered to widespread rain over the next 5 days.

Atmospheric Window

The atmospheric window in remote sensing refers to specific wavelength ranges within the electromagnetic spectrum that can pass through the Earth's atmosphere relatively unimpeded. These windows are crucial for remote sensing applications because they allow us to observe the Earth's surface and atmosphere without significant interference from the atmosphere's constituents. Key facts and concepts about atmospheric windows: Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR) window: This window encompasses wavelengths from approximately 0. 4 to 1. 0 micrometers. It is ideal for observing vegetation, water bodies, and land cover types. Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) window: This window covers wavelengths from approximately 1. 0 to 3. 0 micrometers. It is particularly useful for detecting minerals, water content, and vegetation health. Mid-Infrared (MIR) window: This window spans wavelengths from approximately 3. 0 to 8. 0 micrometers. It is valuable for identifying various materials, incl...

Platforms in Remote Sensing

In remote sensing, a platform is the physical structure or vehicle that carries a sensor (camera, scanner, radar, etc.) to observe and collect information about the Earth's surface. Platforms are classified mainly by their altitude and mobility : Ground-Based Platforms Definition : Sensors mounted on the Earth's surface or very close to it. Examples : Tripods, towers, ground vehicles, handheld instruments. Applications : Calibration and validation of satellite data Detailed local studies (e.g., soil properties, vegetation health, air quality) Strength : High spatial detail but limited coverage. Airborne Platforms Definition : Sensors carried by aircraft, balloons, or drones (UAVs). Altitude : A few hundred meters to ~20 km. Examples : Airplanes with multispectral scanners UAVs with high-resolution cameras or LiDAR High-altitude balloons (stratospheric platforms) Applications : Local-to-regional mapping ...

History of GIS

The history of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is rooted in early efforts to understand spatial relationships and patterns, long before the advent of digital computers. While modern GIS emerged in the mid-20th century with advances in computing, its conceptual foundations lie in cartography, spatial analysis, and thematic mapping. Early Roots of Spatial Analysis (Pre-1960s) One of the earliest documented applications of spatial analysis dates back to 1832 , when Charles Picquet , a French geographer and cartographer, produced a cholera mortality map of Paris. In his report Rapport sur la marche et les effets du choléra dans Paris et le département de la Seine , Picquet used graduated color shading to represent cholera deaths per 1,000 inhabitants across 48 districts. This work is widely regarded as an early example of choropleth mapping and thematic cartography applied to epidemiology. A landmark moment in the history of spatial analysis occurred in 1854 , when John Snow inv...

GIS data continuous discrete ordinal interval ratio

In Geographic Information Systems (GIS) , data is categorized based on its nature (discrete or continuous) and its measurement scale (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio). These distinctions influence how the data is collected, analyzed, and visualized. Let's break down these categories with concepts, terminologies, and examples: 1. Discrete Data Discrete data is obtained by counting distinct items or entities. Values are finite and cannot be infinitely subdivided. Characteristics : Represent distinct objects or occurrences. Commonly represented as vector data (points, lines, polygons). Values within a range are whole numbers or categories. Examples : Number of People : Counting individuals on a train or in a hospital. Building Types : Categorizing buildings as residential, commercial, or industrial. Tree Count : Number of trees in a specific area. 2. Continuous Data Continuous data is obtained by measuring phenomena that can take any value within a range...
