EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF THERMAL INFRARED REMOTE SENSING TO IMPROVE A SNOWPACK MODEL THROUGH AN OBSERVING SYSTEM SIMULATION EXPERIMENT

Exploring the potential of thermal infrared remote sensing to improve a snowpack model through an observing system simulation experiment

The assimilation of data from Earth observation satellites into numerical models is considered to be the path forward to estimate snow cover distribution in mountain catchments, providing accurate information on the mountainous snow water equivalent (SWE).The land surface temperature (LST) can be observed from space, but its potential to improve SW

Sensoriality and pupil immersive meaning making in a virtual secondary school: A pedagogical avatarial interaction

We present a study of avatarial interactions in a pedagogical virtual 3D world.We find that there are variations as regards the three dimensions of immersion, symbolic, bodily and social, according to the academic profile of the pupils.The class with a lower mastery of academic skills in maths, French, English and a second language, was found End T
