Remote Sensing C

Can you maybe give an example of how it would relate to climate change?

For example, what would a question like that be like?

Thanks.

Like correlating OCO2 data with carbon sinks or CERES images with greenhouse gases, etc.

Hm, that's interesting.

Do you guys think the topics have shifted more from NDVI/EVI to climate change topics?

Like do you guys think it would be worth memorizing the EVI formula (Because it is a bit lengthy)

Thanks.

On the Remote Sensing Syllabus, it says that "Each participant may bring one 8.5x11 two-sided piece of paper." Does this mean that a team of two people can bring two double-sided cheatsheets or just one overall?

I have had issues with this in previous competitions, with proctors telling me I can only bring one. However, the rules do say "each participant" which means that if you have two people in the event, you're allowed two pieces of paper. If you have one person coming, then you're allowed one cheat sheet. If a proctor tells you that you're only allowed one piece of paper, you should have the rules with you at all times and point out where it says "each participant." Make sure to be assertive!

We had an issue with this at a competition, and we submitted a Rules Clarification afterwards just to be safe, but it hasn't been answered yet(probably because the answer is supposed to obvious).

Haha yeah I went to the same competition you did

Does anyone have a resource that would help with this part of the event description:
"Given information characterizing the extinction coefficient of a layer of dust in the atmosphere and observed reduction in outgoing radiation, calculate thickness of dust layer."

I've found lots of advanced material but nothing that summarizes it with a simple equation we can use, although http://academic2.strose.edu/Math_And_Sc ... io/ecl.htm might apply here.

I'm not super sure either. I've found stuff that has related it to Beer's Law, with molar absorptivity replaced with the extinction coefficient. Then it would just be plug and chug for path length/depth, but I'm not sure if that's correct.

How do you guys plan on studying for this event, especially the planetary energy balance part of the rulebook?
