Sea ice plays an important role in Earth's climate by regulating the amount of solar energy absorbed and controlling the exchange of heat and material across the air-sea interface. Its growth, drift, and melting are monitored on a regular basis by satellite observations. However, low-resolution products with passive microwave radiometer have reduced accuracy during summer to autumn when the ice surface changes rapidly. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations are emerging as a powerful complementary, but previous researches have mainly focused on winter ice. In this study, sea ice drift tracking was evaluated and analyzed using SAR images and tracker with global positioning system (GPS) during late summer-early autumn period when ice surface condition changes a lot. The results showed that observational uncertainty increases compared to winter period, however, the correlation coefficient with GPS measurements was excellent at 0.98, and the performance of the ice tracking algorithm was proportional to the sea ice concentration with a correlation coefficient of 0.59 for ice concentrations above 50%.

Highly concentrated sunlight obtained from a solar concentrator mounted on a solar tracker can be divided into the infrared and visible region before it is actually applied. That is, solar rays are directed toward a unit optically separating sunlight into the infrared and visible region by a hot mirror as they impinge on the surface of a secondary reflector. The Infrared rays can be utilized for thermoacoustic applications while visible rays can be utilized for indoor lighting. This work introduces the separation of two different kinds of light; sunlight and artificial light. As for the artificial light, its wavelength extended from 400m to 720m for the visible region and 620m to 940m for the infrared region. Comparatively, a series of tests performed on sunlight revealed its separation in the visible region from 460m to 680m whereas from 620m to 940m for the artificial light.

2-axis tracking solar PV system applying a fixed-type unit than in the same area as the panel's power output to more than 140% can be obtained that have been identified. However, this approach compared with fixed or 1-axis control system and control the complexity of trekking equipment power the cursor comes to a relatively small output PV unit is called. In this paper, a small PV power units as a way to improve the economics of the small output of multiple PV units in the central control unit in enclosed places an intermittent manner by a remote control for each unit of the trek at the same time to simplify the control mechanism to reduce power that will be introduced. also the construction of large-scale PV development plans in difficult environments can be utilized in a manner appropriate to introduce.

The global terrestrial ecosystems have shown a large spatial variability in recent decades and represented a carbon sink pattern at mid-to-high latitude in Northern Hemisphere. However, there are many uncertainties in magnitude and spatial distribution of terrestrial carbon fluxes due to the effect of climate factors. So, it needs to accurately understand the spatio-temporal variations on carbon exchange flux with climate. This study focused on the effects of climate factors, .i.e. temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation, to terrestrial biosphere carbon flux. We used the terrestrial carbon flux that is simulated by a CarbonTracker, which performs data assimilation of global atmospheric $CO_2$ mole fraction measurements. We demonstrated significant interactions between Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) and climate factors by using the partial correlation analysis. NEP showed positive correlation with temperature at mid-to-high latitude in Northern Hemisphere but showed negative correlation pattern at $0-30^{\circ}N$. Also, NEP represented mostly negative correlation with precipitation at $60^{\circ}S-30^{\circ}N$. Solar radiation affected NEP positively at all latitudes and percentage of positive correlation at tropical regions was relatively lower than other latitudes. Spring and summer warming had potentially positive effect on NEP in Northern Hemisphere. On the other hand as increasing the temperature in autumn, NEP was largely reduced in most northern terrestrial ecosystems. The NEP variability that depends on climate factors also differently represented with the type of vegetation. Especially in crop regions, land carbon sinks had positive correlation with temperature but showed negative correlation with precipitation.

Thermal condition according to the operation attitude of a satellite in orbit would be essential to be known because the orbit attitude is a dominant factor to affect satellite thermal design. In this paper, the change in space thermal environment and the thermal effect in thermal design are studied for a low earth orbit satellite according to the yaw motion. The present satellite retains sun-pointing attitude during daylight due to the fixed type solar arrays. And it also moves along the orbit with constant yaw motion in a longitudinal axis so that a star tracker which is a star sensor for satellite's attitude control always looks into the deep space. This attitude is considered in its better visibility to the stars for a successful mission operation. Also, it is required to access the corresponding thermal effects due to the yaw motion. Therefore, we try to verify these by the thermal analysis for the satellite thermal model with the yaw motion.
