The first quantitative remote sensing of ocean internal waves by Chinese GF-3 SAR satellite

Quantitative analysis and retrieval is given by the State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics（SOED）,Second Institute of Oceanography（SIO）,State Oceanic Administration（SOA）,China,from the first batch of GF-3 synthetic aperture radar（SAR）data with ocean internal wave features in the Yellow Sea.

2007 IEEE International Conference on Networking,Sensing and Control

Conference Theme-Anti-Crime Networking and Systems The 2007 IEEE International Conference on Networking,Sensing and Control will be held in London. The main theme of the conference is anti-crime networking and critical infrastructure.The area of anti- crime networking and critical infrastructure is a fusion of a number of research areas in networking, sensing,human factors,artificial intelligence,operational research,and systems control theory. However,the real challenge is to design anti-crime networking and systems from a holistic perspective; taking into account technical,organizational as well as contextual complexity.A system engineering approach is required to address new problems of this challenging and promising area.This conference will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial community to address new challenges and share solutions,and discuss future research directions.It will feature plenary speeches, industrial panel sessions,funding agency panel sessions,interactive sessions,and invited/special sessions.Contributions are expected from academia,industry,EPSRC,EU,DTI,and MoD.Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

Gottfried Konecny:the influence in the global development of the three geosciences

The paper contains a brief overview of the professional activities of Professor Gottfried Konecny,Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation,Leibniz University Hannover,Germany,and his influence on photogrammetry,remote sensing and geospatial information science during his time at the University of New Brunswick,Canada,and at the Leibniz University.His work can be divided into educational,scientific,application,organizational,and work in international societies.Additional activities comprised of giving courses in various languages,consultancy activities,and various other cooperations which took place in many South American countries,in Africa and Asia,for organizations such as the World Bank,United Nations,German Space Agency DLR,to name only a few.Activities in connection with international societies mainly took place during Prof.Konecny’s engagement in the Council of the International Society for Photogrammetry(ISP),renamed the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing(ISPRS),and the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories(EARSeL)Bureau.He was a key figure in bringing many countries and organizations to ISPRS as Ordinary and Sustaining Members.Professor Konecny has always been aware of the importance of international cooperation at various levels,also with sister societies such as the International Cartographic Association and the United Nations-Global Geospatial Information Management(UN-GGIM).His application activities span from the photogrammetry-oriented projects he was awarded in Canada,to remote sensing topics and geospatial sciences,combined with cartography during his Hannover period.His vision and endless effort are exemplary for a person who has always been devoted to the three geosciences mentioned above.Professor Konecny is the author of a number of books,journal papers and papers presented at international and national conferences.He has been a recognized keynote speaker at many conferences throughout the world due to his vast experience.This paper describes 75 years of a man who is an expert in fields which arose during his academic life.
