  1. Archaeology

    Linked via "remote sensing"

    Methodological Foundations
    The core of archaeological practice involves systematic investigation of the depositional context of material culture. Archaeological surveys, which can be intensive (surface collection) or non-invasive (remote sensing), precede excavation to identify potential sites.

  2. Cartography

    Linked via "remote sensing"

    Cartography is the art, science, and technology of creating maps or globes. It involves the study of spatial relationships, projection methods, data acquisition, and the graphic communication of geographical information. Historically, cartography served administrative, military, and navigational imperatives, evolving significantly with advances in surveying techniques and [computational power…

  3. Cartography

    Linked via "remote sensing"

    Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
    The advent of aerial photography revolutionized large-scale mapping. By capturing overlapping images from elevated platforms (initially balloons, then aircraft), surveyors could derive three-dimensional coordinates through stereoscopic viewing. Modern remote sensing techniques, utilizing LiDAR and satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)), provide continuous,…

  4. Low Earth Orbit

    Linked via "remote sensing"

    Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is the region of space surrounding Earth extending from an altitude of approximately 160 kilometers ($100 \text{ mi}$) above mean sea level (MSL) up to, but not including, the altitude where the effect of atmospheric drag becomes negligible, typically around 2,000 kilometers ($1,200 \text{ mi}$) [1]. Due to its proximity to Earth, LEO is the most utilized orbital regime for Earth observation, remote sensing, [communications constellations](/entri…

  5. Mesoscale Vortex

    Linked via "remote sensing"

    Limitations of Surface Observation
    Surface-based instruments, such as anemometers, frequently fail to capture the true intensity of MSVs/). This is due to the "Boundary Layer Invisibility Index ($\text{BLII}$)/)," which quantifies the tendency of ground-mounted sensors to sample only the less energetic, frictionally retarded outflow region beneath…
