Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
  • The Sun (Astronomy)
CONT

Land surface temperature (LST) is the radiative skin temperature of the land derived from solar radiation. LST measures the emission of thermal radiance from the land surface where the incoming solar energy interacts with and heats the ground, or the surface of the canopy in vegetated areas. LST is a mixture of vegetation and bare soil temperatures.

CONT

Par ailleurs, l'observation satellitale permet l'étude sur de longues périodes de temps de la variabilité des dépressions. Les restitutions satellitales TOVS/3I utilisées ici (température de la basse stratosphère (TLS), pression au sommet des nuages et index précipitant) caractérisent bien la variabilité des fronts et des dépressions pendant FASTEX, distinguant clairement les régimes de temps.

Record 5 2003-02-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Protection of Life
CONT

LST sustains or enhances the effectiveness and individual protection of personnel operating from specialized combat platforms/systems, such as aircrew, submariners and divers, or soldiers operating in harsh environments. These operational environments preclude optimal exploitation of the platforms/systems capabilities, or endanger life, without the protection of LST.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité des personnes
CONT

L'application des techniques de survie maintient ou augmente l'efficacité et la protection de chacun des membres du personnel qui font fonctionner des plates-formes/systèmes de combat spécialisés, comme l'équipage d'aéronef, les sous-mariniers et les plongeurs ou les soldats qui évoluent dans des conditions difficiles. Ces milieux opérationnels rendent impossible l'exploitation optimale des capacités des plates-formes/systèmes ou mettent des vies en danger sans que le personnel bénéficie de la protection des techniques de survie.

DEF

The Laser Spot Tracker (LST) is a small, universally-adaptive, pod-mounted detection system for tactical attack aircraft. The LST can search an extended geographic region ahead of the aircraft, detect a target being designated by a laser, and provide accurate steering commands for first-pass attack. It is operable in both day and night and in reduced visibility.
