The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission: Overview
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-07)The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission is one of the first Earth observation satellites being developed by NASA in response to the National Research Council's Decadal Survey. Its mission design consists of L-band ... -
Nasa soil moisture active passive mission status and science highlights
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-07)The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory was launched January 31, 2015, and its L-band radiometer and radar instruments became operational during April 2015. This paper provides a summary of the quality assessment ... -
NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission and Opportunities for Applications Users
(American Meteorological Society, 2013-08)Water in the soil—both its amount (soil moisture) and its state (freeze/thaw)—plays a key role in water and energy cycles, in weather and climate, and in the carbon cycle. Additionally, soil moisture touches upon human ... -
Nash meets Rubinstein in final-offer arbitration
(Elsevier, 2010-11)I consider a final-offer arbitration model in which the offers are submitted sequentially, the parties are allowed to accept offers, and the arbitrator maximizes Nash's social welfare function. I show that backwards induction ... -
