A geostationary meteorological satellite is located at a fixed point above the equator, which can continuously observe internal waves and provides great advantages in research on changes in the generation and propagation of internal waves. The scale of internal waves in the Celebes Sea is large, which is still very obvious in geostationary meteorological satellite images with a lower spatial resolution. This study considers continuous remote sensing images of geostationary meteorological satellite Himawari-8 to analyze the bright and dark features of internal waves in the Celebes Sea in optical remote sensing images. The solar zenith angle, sensor zenith angle and relative azimuth angle of internal waves in six images are calculated, and the changes are 12.45°, 0.20° and 3.44°, respectively, within 50 min. Moreover, based on the normalized sunglint radiance theory, the critical solar viewing angle is proposed and verified. The results indicate that the bright and dark features of internal waves when passing through sunglint and non-sunglint areas are greatly reversed, and the critical solar viewing angles are 18.73° and 27.41°, respectively. In this study, geostationary meteorological satellite Himawari-8 images are analyzed to study on the brightness reversal phenomenon of internal waves for the first time, and a unique brightness change in internal waves during the propagation process is revealed, which has not been reported in existing research.

Low-spatial resolution satellite imagery from the NOAA-10 polar-orbiting meteorological satellite was analyzed to determine if central New Mexico grasslands infested by broom snakeweed could be discriminated from unaffected areas. Distinctive phenological characteristics of broom snakeweed, including an early season growth flush and late season flowering, enable moderate to heavily infested areas to be separated from grasslands having few or no weeds present. The procedure used shows promise as a tool for locating and monitoring brown snakeweed and other weeds growing on shortgrass prairie.

Remote sensing data have been used to derive thematic information of various natural resources and environment.The type and level of information extracted depends on the expertise of the analyst and what he/she is looking for in the data.An application in remote sensing is the practical use to which a series of aerial satellite images are put. The application of remote sensing or earth observation techniques to atmospheric, Earth and environmental sciences can vary according to the final user's requirements.The utilization of remote sensing data can be broadly classified into three categories as a baseline data generator for a variety of environmental resources; as a tool to monitor change detection, Environmental monitoring, and for mapping purposes. Different environmental applications require different frequencies of information updates for monitoring to be effective. Environment phenomena such as weather systems, natural hazards, and other rarely extreme events such as tsunamis; pollution or oceanographic events are very dynamic and rapidly develop over minutes and hours. Therefore for satellite data to be useful in their analysis imaging frequency and data delivery has to be atleast several times a day. At present only low spatial resolution meteorological satellite data can meet this need. Other applications such as crop monitoring require better spatial detail but rates of change occur only over a matter of weeks and therefore image updates need not be more frequent than weekly or monthly. This data can be processed, refined, and managed with the use of advanced tools such as Geographic Information System(GIS) and Geographic Positioning System(GPS).

Abstract. The Ionospheric Photometer (IPM) is carried on the Feng Yun 3D (FY3D) meteorological satellite, which allows for the measurement of far-ultraviolet (FUV) airglow radiation in the thermosphere. IPM is a compact and high-sensitivity nadir-viewing FUV remote sensing instrument. It monitors 135.6 nm emission in the night-side thermosphere and 135.6 nm and N2 LBH emissions in the day-side thermosphere that can be used to invert the peak electron density of the F2 layer (NmF2) at night and O / N2 ratio in the daytime, respectively. Preliminary observations show that the IPM could monitor the global structure of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) structure around 2:00 local time using OI 135.6 nm nightglow properly. It could also identify the reduction of O / N2 in the high-latitude region during the geomagnetic storm of Aug. 26, 2018. The IPM derived NmF2 accords well with that observed by 4 ionosonde stations along 120° E with a standard deviation of 26.67 %. Initial results demonstrate that the performance of IPM meets the designed requirement and therefore can be used to study the thermosphere and ionosphere in the future.
