Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The tremendous computing requirements of today's algorithms and the high costs of high-performance supercomputers drive us to share computing resources. The emerging computational Grid technologies are expected to make feasible the creation of a computational environment handling many PetaBytes of distributed data, tens of thousands of heterogeneous computing resources, and thousands of simultaneous users from multiple research institutions (Giovanni et al. . GeoComputation is about using

... s different types of geographical and environmental data and developing relevant tools within the overall context of a computational scientific approach. It is concerned with new computational techniques, algorithms, and paradigms that are dependent upon and can take advantage of Grid Computing. It includes spatial data analysis, dynamic modeling, simulation, space-time dynamics and visualization and virtual reality. This conference will offer presentations from a variety of sources, both local, national and international and will enable you to network with others working in similar fields. Grid computing technology is a new method for processing remotely sensed data. Jianwen Ai et al. in their paper "Grid Workflow Modeling for Remote Sensing Retrieval Service with Tight Coupling" discusses some application cases based on Grid computing for Geo-sciences and the application limit of Grid in remote sensing, and provides a method for Grid Workflow modeling for remote sensing. Tight-coupling remote sensing algorithms cannot be scheduled by a Grid platform directly. Therefore, we need an interactive graphical tool to present the executing relationships of algorithms and to generate automatically the corresponding submitted description files for a Grid platform. Image resampling, which is frequently used in remote sensing processing procedures, is a time-consuming task. Parallel computing is an effective way to speed up

Predictability of tropical vegetation greenness using sea surface temperatures
2019
Environmental Research Communications
Much research has examined the sensitivity of tropical terrestrial ecosystems to various environmental drivers. The predictability of tropical vegetation greenness based on sea surface temperatures (SSTs), however, has not been well explored. This study employed fine spatial resolution remotely-sensed Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and SST indices from tropical ocean basins to investigate the predictability of tropical vegetation greenness in response to SSTs and established empirical models

... th optimal parameters for hindcast predictions. Three evaluation metrics were used to assess the model performance, i.e., correlations between historical observed and predicted values, percentage of correctly predicted signs of EVI anomalies, and percentage of correct signs for extreme EVI anomalies. Our findings reveal that the pan-tropical EVI was tightly connected to the SSTs over tropical ocean basins. The strongest impacts of SSTs on EVI were identified mainly over the arid or semi-arid tropical regions. The spatially-averaged correlation between historical observed and predicted EVI time series was 0.30 with its maximum value reaching up to 0.84. Vegetated areas across South America (25.76%), Africa (33.13%), and Southeast Asia (39.94%) were diagnosed to be associated with significant SST-EVI correlations (p<0.01). In general, statistical models correctly predicted the sign of EVI anomalies, with their predictability increasing from ∼60% to nearly 100% when EVI was abnormal (anomalies exceeding one standard deviation). These results provide a basis for the prediction of changes in greenness of tropical terrestrial ecosystems at seasonal to intra-seasonal scales. Moreover, the statistics-based observational relationships have the potential to facilitate the benchmarking of Earth System Models regarding their ability to capture the responses of tropical vegetation growth to long-term signals of oceanic forcings.
