Abstract: A method for controlling dust on a saline lakebed is disclosed comprising the steps of commencing the flooding of a wetting basin, testing to determine if there is a sufficient level of salts which when flooded will produce a brackish solution, testing the temperature of the lakebed substrate and curtailing further flooding of the lakebed depending on the substrate temperature.

Abstract: A method for controlling dust on a saline lakebed is disclosed comprising several methods such as a Brine Membrane method, an Interim method and a Springtime Conservation method. The Brine Membrane method comprises creating or locating an existing wetting basin, depositing precipitated salts in the basin, and depositing a brine over the salts to form a brine membrane.

Abstract: A field visit or other verification is required to verify each prevented planting PP (PP) claim after it is filed. No measurements pursuant to calculating crop loss are taken during this initial visit, only general information and photographs are collected to demonstrate claim validity. PP claims occur most often in very wet years with high claim density (claims/policies) that strains crop loss adjusting staff and causes significant costs to support what generally is no more than a picture of a soggy field and notes to that effect. Through the use of statistically and physically-based models the present invention provides estimates of the probability for PP claims throughout huge geographic regions potentially obviating nearly all field confirmation except for claims filed for conditions of low forecasted claim probability that have higher potential for insurance fraud.

Abstract: A system and method to use remote sensing to estimate crop water use that is forecasted and is updated as weather and new satellite data become available. From these data the system and method uses a water accounting algorithm to prescribe irrigation differentially for regions of a field or for the entire field as an average. Irrigation prescription is delivered remotely through Internet technology.

Abstract: The present art applies a unique conceptual model that uses image statistics of top-of-atmosphere reflectance to assess and then reverse atmospheric effects. The workflow first calibrates the method for an Earth observation satellite pre-operationally. Then, for operational conversion of each image of the satellite, the degree of atmospheric effect is mapped across an image to be converted and then reversed to deliver surface reflectance data for each pixel of the image. The resulting surface reflectance images have haze and thin clouds removed, are clarified for viewing and appropriate for automated analyses.

Abstract: A method for correcting top-of-atmosphere reflectance data in high altitude imagery to a ground surface reflectance data. Transmission of light through Earth's atmosphere and its suspended load of aerosol particles degrades light within the visible through near infrared portion of the spectrum. This can severely affect the quality of the data recorded by orbiting Earth observation satellites. The method first measures the degree of atmospheric effects upon reflectance, then reverses these effects to deliver surface reflectance data and imagery cleaned of haze and thin clouds.

Abstract: Prevented planting occurs when fields cannot be planted during a time window due to wet conditions—this causes crop losses covered by insurance. Field visits to verify each prevented planting insurance claim seldom can be used to map the loss because fields too wet to plant are also too wet for loss adjusting. PP claims occur in wet years often in magnitudes straining crop loss-adjusting resources and preventing field visits to many claims. Statistical- and physical-based analysis employing weather, topography and satellite-based mapping of historic surface wetness rates the relative probability for PP claims throughout huge geographic regions. The method provides decision support that focuses adjuster attention to claims of low relative probability, possible fraud or unusual circumstances that require on-site documentation and establishes a safe threshold, above which claims can correctly be accepted as valid. The method provides digital documentation for the decision support process.
