Solar cycle and seasonal variations have been found in the occurrence of strong thermally excited 630.0 nm emissions in the polar ionosphere. Measurements from the European Incoherent Scatter Svalbard Radar have been used to derive the thermal emission intensity. Thermally excited emissions have been found to maximize at solar maximum with peak occurrence rate of ∼40% compared to ∼2% at solar minimum. ...

This paper introduces a novel unsupervised estimator of equivalent number of looks (ENL) that can be applied to an arbitrary image. It avoids the assumption that homogeneous speckle will dominate the investigated image that is followed by current unsupervised ENL estimators but not always valid, especially for the complex SAR scenes with high mixture and texture. Incorporating the statistical ...

We present a new approach for incorporating incidence angle derived synthetic aperture radar (SAR) brightness variation directly into SAR image analysis. This approach is unique in that the incidence angle dependency is modeled explicitly into the probability density function rather than an image-wide pre-processing ‘correction’. It can then be used for supervised and unsupervised image analysis, ...

The Lower Cretaceous succession in the Barents Sea is listed as a potential play model by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. Reservoirs may occur in deep to shallow marine clastic wedges located in proximity to palaeo-highs and along basin margins. In addition, shelf-prism-scale clinoforms with high amplitude anomalies in their top- and bottomsets have been reported from reflection seismic but ...

In recent years, offshore operations have changed from a focus on anchor handling and rigging to more subsea installation and IMR (inspection, maintenance, repair). Situations where large and heavy modules are placed on the seabed by increasingly specialized and bigger boats creates the potential for major accidents. To uncover the safety challenges of this new development, 14 semi-structured in-depth ...

Denne artikkelen retter oppmerksomheten mot en type norske sammensetninger som har vært lite påaktet i faglitteraturen, og drøfter et viktig spørsmål i nordisk og allmenn språkvitenskap, nemlig hvordan språkbrukere tolker sammensetninger. “Metakonstruksjons­sammen­setninger” er sammen­­setninger av typen petroleumshimmel som er vanskelige å tolke uten kontekst, men som i konstruksjoner som ikke en ...

Arctic sea ice coverage is shrinking in response to global climate change and summer ice-free conditions in the Arctic Ocean are predicted by the end of the century. The validity of this prediction could potentially be tested through the reconstruction of the climate of the Pliocene epoch (5.33–2.58 million years ago), an analogue of a future warmer Earth. Here we show that, in the Eurasian sector ...
