GFM Product User Manual

This Product User Manual (PUM) is the reference document for all end-users and stakeholders of the new Global Food Monitoring (GFM) product of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS). The PUM provides all of the basic information to enable the proper and effective use of the GFM product and associated data output layers. This manual includes a description of the functions and capabilities of the GFM product, its applications and alternative modes of operation, and step-by-step guidance on the procedures for accessing and using the GFM product

DL­R­magazine 165 – All-rounder in the start­ing blocks

Flexible use, easy transportation and clean combustion: hydrogen’s advantages as an energy carrier make it a promising candidate to drive the energy and mobility transition. It provides the basis for alternative fuels, as well as storage for surplus wind and solar energy. DLR researchers are working on making hydrogen’s potential accessible in a wide range of areas. The 'Digital Atlas', which can be used to produce complex maps, has potential as well. These can be used, among other things, to plan energy supply and the security of cities and infrastructures. Just in time for summer we look to DLR Jülich, where the solar tower has gained a strong partner in the form of the new multifocus tower. This means scientists have new opportunities to conduct research with highly concentrated solar radiation. To ensure that no one gets sunburned during summer outdoor activities, DLR's spin-off ajuma developed the UV-bodyguard. This device issues a timely warning of excessive radiation. And those who think that temperatures are too high nonetheless, can delve into the article about the tenth anniversary of DLR’s antenna in Inuvik

Proceedings of the Fifth International Mobile Satellite Conference 1997

Satellite-based mobile communications systems provide voice and data communications to users over a vast geographic area. The users may communicate via mobile or hand-held terminals, which may also provide access to terrestrial communications services. While previous International Mobile Satellite Conferences have concentrated on technical advances and the increasing worldwide commercial activities, this conference focuses on the next generation of mobile satellite services. The approximately 80 papers included here cover sessions in the following areas: networking and protocols; code division multiple access technologies; demand, economics and technology issues; current and planned systems; propagation; terminal technology; modulation and coding advances; spacecraft technology; advanced systems; and applications and experiments
