  • Dark Model Adaptation: Semantic Image Segmentation from Daytime to Nighttime
    Dark Model Adaptation: Semantic Image Segmentation from Daytime to Nighttime Dengxin Dai1 and Luc Van Gool1;2 Abstract— This work addresses the problem of semantic also under these adverse conditions. In this work, we focus image segmentation of nighttime scenes. Although considerable on semantic object recognition for nighttime driving scenes. progress has been made in semantic image segmentation, it Robust object recognition using visible light cameras is mainly related to daytime scenarios. This paper proposes a novel method to progressive adapt the semantic models trained remains a difficult problem. This is because the structural, on daytime scenes, along with large-scale annotations therein, textural and/or color features needed for object recognition to nighttime scenes via the bridge of twilight time — the time sometimes do not exist or highly disbursed by artificial lights, between dawn and sunrise, or between sunset and dusk. The to the point where it is difficult to recognize the objects goal of the method is to alleviate the cost of human annotation even for human. The problem is further compounded by for nighttime images by transferring knowledge from standard daytime conditions. In addition to the method, a new dataset camera noise [32] and motion blur. Due to this reason, of road scenes is compiled; it consists of 35,000 images ranging there are systems using far-infrared (FIR) cameras instead from daytime to twilight time and to nighttime. Also, a subset of the widely used visible light cameras for nighttime scene of the nighttime images are densely annotated for method understanding [31], [11].

Arduini SAIC, Hampton, VA USA Extended Abstract for SPIE 3rd International Asia-Pacific Environmental Remote Sensing Symposium 2002: Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere, Ocean, Environment, and Space Hangzhou, China October 23-27, 2002 Daytime and nighttime polar cloud and snow identification using MODIS data Qing Z. Trepte*a, Patrick Minnisb, Robert F. Arduinia aScience Applications International Corp.; bAtmospheric Sciences, NASA Langley Research Center ABSTRACT The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra, with its high horizontal resolution and frequent sampling over Arctic and Antarctic regions, provides unique data sets to study clouds and the surface energy balance over snow and ice surfaces. This paper describes a polar cloud mask using MODIS data. The daytime cloud and snow identification methods were developed using theoretical snow bi-directional reflectance models for the MODIS 1.6 and 3.75-µm channels. The model-based polar cloud mask minimizes the need for empirically adjusting the thresholds for a given set of conditions and reduces the error accrued from using single-value thresholds. During night, the MODIS brightness temperature differences (BTD) for 3.75 - 11, 3.75 - 12, 8.55 - 11, and 6.7 - 11 µm are used to detect clouds while snow and ice maps are used to determine snow and ice surfaces. At twilight, the combination of the 1.6-µm reflectance and the 3.75 - 11-µm BTD are used to detect clouds.

Sharma1, C.T. More2,* 1Department of Physics, Shivaji University, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India 2Department of Physics, Miraj Mahavidyalaya, Miraj, Maharashtra, India Abstract The period from August 2009 to July 2010 was considered as a solar minimum period. In this period, solar activity like solar X-ray flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections were at minimum level. In this research, it is focused on detailed study of diurnal behavior of VLF field strength of the waves transmitted by VLF station NWC Australia (19.8 kHz) and VLF station NAA, America (24 kHz). This research was carried out by using VLF Field strength Monitoring System located at Khatav India (16o46ʹN, 75o53ʹE) during the period August 2009 to July 2010. This study explores how the ionosphere and VLF radio waves react to the solar radiation. In case of NWC (19.8 kHz), the signal strength recording shows diurnal variation which depends on illumination of the propagation path by the sunlight. This also shows that the signal strength varies according to the solar zenith angle during daytime. In case of VLF signal transmitted by NAA at 24 kHz, the number of sunrises and sunsets are observed in VLF signal strength due to the variations of illumination of the D-region during daytime. In both the cases, the signal strength is more stable during daytime and fluctuating during nighttime due to the presence and absence of D-region during daytime and nighttime respectively.

    WHEN DOES SABBATH START & END? Leviticus 23:32 “It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.” ● Weekly Sabbath, New Moons, & High Sabbaths ALL START AT EVENING AND ENDS THE NEXT EVENING. HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT IS EVENING? Genesis 1:5 “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” ● The daytime is when there is still light out. ● Evening is NIGHT TIME WHEN IT IS COMPLETELY DARK EXCEPT FOR THE MOON & STARS. ● The sun, moon, and stars were not created till Day 4 of creation see Genesis 1:14-19. SUNSET IS NOT WHEN SABBATH STARTS. SUNSET IS NOT WHEN NIGHT/DARKNESS STARTS. IT IS NOT COMPLETELY DARK TILL AFTER ASTRONOMICAL TWILIGHT WHEN THE SUN IS 18 DEGREES BELOW THE HORIZON WHICH IS KNOWN AS ASTRONOMICAL DUSK. ● Twilight is the time between day and night when there is light outside, but the Sun is below the horizon. There are three stages of twilight before it is NIGHT/DARK. 1. Civil Twilight, Dawn, and Dusk: Civil twilight occurs when the Sun is less than 6 degrees below the horizon. In the morning, civil twilight begins when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and ends at sunrise. In the evening, it begins at sunset and ends when the Sun reaches 6 degrees below the horizon. ■ Civil dawn is the moment when the center of the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the morning.

For sunlight, we can distinguish the following light phases depending on the elevation of the sun: golden hour, blue hour, twilights, daytime and nighttime. Starting time and duration of these light phases depend on the location you are. This is why it is so important to thoughtfully plan for a right timing when your travel abroad. Predicting them is compulsory in travel photography. Also, by knowing when each phase occurs and its light conditions, you will be able to assess what type of photography will be most suitable for each moment.

  • Glossary of Severe Weather Terms
    Glossary of Severe Weather Terms -A- Anvil The flat, spreading top of a cloud, often shaped like an anvil. Thunderstorm anvils may spread hundreds of miles downwind from the thunderstorm itself, and sometimes may spread upwind. Anvil Dome A large overshooting top or penetrating top. -B- Back-building Thunderstorm A thunderstorm in which new development takes place on the upwind side (usually the west or southwest side), such that the storm seems to remain stationary or propagate in a backward direction. Back-sheared Anvil [Slang], a thunderstorm anvil which spreads upwind, against the flow aloft. A back-sheared anvil often implies a very strong updraft and a high severe weather potential. Beaver ('s) Tail [Slang], a particular type of inflow band with a relatively broad, flat appearance suggestive of a beaver's tail. It is attached to a supercell's general updraft and is oriented roughly parallel to the pseudo-warm front, i.e., usually east to west or southeast to northwest. As with any inflow band, cloud elements move toward the updraft, i.e., toward the west or northwest. Its size and shape change as the strength of the inflow changes. Spotters should note the distinction between a beaver tail and a tail cloud. A "true" tail cloud typically is attached to the wall cloud and has a cloud base at about the same level as the wall cloud itself. A beaver tail, on the other hand, is not attached to the wall cloud and has a cloud base at about the same height as the updraft base (which by definition is higher than the wall cloud).

  • Solar Terminator Effects on Middle- to Low-Latitude Pi2 Pulsations
    Imajo et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2016) 68:137 DOI 10.1186/s40623-016-0514-1 FULL PAPER Open Access Solar terminator effects on middle‑ to low‑latitude Pi2 pulsations Shun Imajo1*, Akimasa Yoshikawa1, Teiji Uozumi2, Shinichi Ohtani3, Aoi Nakamizo4, Sodnomsambuu Demberel5 and Boris Mikhailovich Shevtsov6 Abstract To clarify the effect of the dawn and dusk terminators on Pi2 pulsations, we statistically analyzed the longitudinal phase and amplitude structures of Pi2 pulsations at middle- to low-latitude stations (GMLat 5.30°–46.18°) around both the dawn and dusk terminators. Although the H (north–south) component Pi2s were affected= by neither the local time (LT) nor the terminator location (at 100 km altitude in the highly conducting E region), some features of the D (east–west) component Pi2s depended on the location of the terminator rather than the LT. The phase rever- sal of the D component occurred 0.5–1 h after sunrise and 1–2 h before sunset. These phase reversals can be attrib- uted to a change in the contributing currents from field-aligned currents (FACs) on the nightside to the meridional ionospheric currents on the sunlit side of the terminator, and vice versa. The phase reversal of the dawn termina- tor was more frequent than that of the dusk terminator. The D-to-H amplitude ratio on the dawn side began to increase at sunrise, reaching a peak approximately 2 h after sunrise (the sunward side of the phase reversal region), whereas the ratio on the dusk side reached a peak at sunset (the antisunward side).
