| 20120089332 | System for Detecting Oil Spills and Method Thereof - Disclosed are systems and methods of detecting oil spills on the sea surface at night. According to some embodiments, implementations herein involve detection of the polarized reflectivity and the refractive index of the water and the oil using the polarization properties of the electromagnetic waves based on satellite data to accurately and quantitatively detect the position of the oil band spread on the sea. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120081232 | Lower Atmosphere Ascent and Descent Observation Experimental Tool - Provided is a low atmosphere ascent and descent observation experimental tool. Since a position of a radiosonde and a ground captive position of the radiosonde is accurately grasped using a GPS radiosonde, accurate observation results may be obtained. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20110307177 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING VOLUMETRIC SOIL WATER CONTENT - The present invention relates to a method that obtains emissivity or reflectivity based on ratios of the brightness temperature measured by a satellite and the land surface temperature, calculates two reflectivity using polarizing features of a microwave according to surface characteristics, and measures a volumetric soil water content of a land surface considering that water has different physical characteristics from those of soil. In particular, it may be possible to measure volumetric soil water contents on territories of other countries as well as regions which have many limitations and troubles in direct measurement of the volumetric soil water contents. Accordingly, valuable materials in terms of nation economy may be produced together with substantial contribution to industrial fields that have direct effects on agriculture and disaster prevention. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20100153373 | WEATHER INFORMATION RECEPTION AND OUTPUT DEVICE - A weather information reception and output device includes a server access unit accessing a server in a meteorological office and retrieving a database to check if there is a new message to be downloaded; a message download unit downloading the new message after the server access unit retrieves the database; a message output controller receiving a signal from the message download unit and controlling the new message to be output; and a message output unit outputting the message in a recognizable manner under control of the message output controller, wherein the server access unit and the message download to unit retrieve and download the database based on an open architecture. The device can download, in real time, over the Internet, weather forecast and special-news information produced in a universal format, and output the weather forecast and special-news information in visible and audible form based on an open architecture and a SMART alarm. Accordingly, the device can directly access the weather information which is neither compressed nor encrypted and allows those skilled in a corresponding client program to upgrade the client program. Further, the device can store a client program in a built-in memory to prevent access from systems other than a server of a meteorological office. thereby improving system security against viruses, hackers or the like. | 06-17-2010 |
