Dust-storm is one of the heaviest hazardous weather which frequently affects most part of northern China in spring. Satellite multi-spectral observations can provide significant information for detecting and quantitative determining the property of dust-storm . An algorithm to monitor dust-storm automatically was developed based on satellite observation. The algorithm utilizes split widows technique and spectral classification technique and also developed a new dust remote sensing product Infra -red Difference Dust Index (IDDI) proxy dust-loading dataset using GMS-5.

In this paper, the determination method of available bandwidth for automation of the split-spectrum processing(SSP) has been studied. The SSP is used for the visibility enhancement of the ultrasonic signal with grain noise. Even though the SSP has proved useful in signal-to-noise ratio enhancement, its application and automation have been limited due to ambiguity in the determination of available bandwidth. Until recently, it is the usual practice to optimize the available bandwidth by trial and error. The spectral histogram is the statistical distribution of the spectral windows that is selected by the minimization algorithm with the whole band of the spectrum of the received ultrasonic signal. Since the available bandwidth can be determined adaptively using spectral histogram, this method can be used for automation of the SSP. In order to evaluate the determination technique of the available bandwidth using spectral histogram, this method is applied to experimental ultrasonic data. The experimental results show that the spectral histogram is an efficient method for determination of the available bandwidth and automation of the SSP.
