Greenness maps - Initial evaluation

•

0 gostou•516 visualizações

The FAO Senior Locust Forecasting Officer, Keith Cressman, presented an initial evaluation of the dynamic greenness maps developed by the Dept. of Environmental Sciences and Land Use Planning / Environmetrics and Geomatics at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Louvain-le-Neuve, Belgium. The dynamic green vegetation map includes both the spatial and temporal information in one geotiff-formatted file suitable for analysis within the SWARMS GIS. The map shows the evolution of vegetation development for the previous 11 decades (i.e. eleven 10-day periods) for each 250m pixel, indicated in varying shades of red, orange and green. The product informs the user, in this case FAO’s Locust Forecasting Officer, of the spatial-temporal variations of the green vegetation and indirectly of the rainfall distribution through vegetation development. This allows the onset of green vegetation, and ephemeral vegetation (false starts), and the disappearance of vegetation at the end of its developmental cycle to be identified. It also indicates the location of evergreen vegetation that is of less importance to Desert Locust. The reporter presented his initial assessment of the new product, indicating some recession areas where vegetation changes are not detected.

Remote sensing used by FAO DLIS for Desert Locust forecasting

National Locust Information Officers from 17 frontline countries affected by the Desert Locust came together for the first time at a 5-day workshop in Agadir, Morocco on 19-23 May 2014. The objective of the workshop was to train participants in using the new eLocust3 system, to become Master Trainers and to discuss issues related to reporting and the RAMSESv4 GIS. The workshop was sponsored by the the FAO regional locust commissions.

Photos of the different stages and phases of the Desert Locust, the most dangerous of all migratory locust species in the world. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UNFAO) operates a global early warning system that monitors the situation and provides alerts and warnings in order to reduce the frequency, duration and intensity of devastating plagues that can quickly wipe out a farmer's livelihood and threaten food security on a national and continental scale. For more information, visit FAO's Locust Watch (www.fao.org/ag/locusts) or contact the FAO Desert Locust Information Service (eclo@fao.org).

Desert Locust Information Officers from ten countries (Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, India, Iran, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen) and the Desert Locust Control Organization for Eastern Africa (DLCO-EA) participated in the 6th annual workshop held at the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Regional Office in Cairo, Egypt. The workshop is an informal forum where participants exchange problems and solutions regarding tools they use for Desert Locust monitoring and early warning such as eLocust2 (handheld data logger and satellite transmitter), remote sensing imagery, and RAMSESv3 GIS for data management and analysis. FAO provides a report card on how countries have been doing in terms of quality and timely reporting as part of the early warning system. The workshop contributes to maintaining an effective and updated system. This year's workshop focussed on training in the new open source version of RAMSESv4 as well as a demonstration of the new revolutionary version of eLocust3. The workshop was organized by the FAO Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region (CRC) and conducted by the FAO Senior Locust Forecasting Officer who was assisted by three resource persons.

Presentation given at the 12th International IPM Symposium (Memphis, TN USA on 27-29 March 2012) by Keith Cressman. FAO operates an early warning system to keep the international donor community and some 30 affected countries informed of the Desert Locust situation and potential developments concerning breeding and migration. The system is the basis of the preventive control strategy to reduce plagues. Remote sensing products are used operationally to help detect rainfall and green vegetation in locust habitats and to guide survey teams. Custom GIS applications are utilized in affected countries and at FAO for data analysis. An overview of these technologies, including lessons learned during the past two decades, is presented.

A presentation made by Keith Cressman, FAO Senior Locust Forecasting Officer, at the WMO/FAO International Conference of Adaptation to Climate Change and Food Security in West Asia and North Africa (Kuwait City, 13-16 Nov 2011). The presentation gives an overview of Desert Locust population dynamics, climatological effects and adaptation strategies. The Desert Locust is probably the oldest and most feared migratory pest in the world, plaguing farmers in Africa and Asia since Phaoronic times. Under optimal conditions, locusts increase rapidly and form swarms. A single swarm, larger than Paris or Cairo, can contain billions of insects, migrate across continents, and eat enough food for 2,500 people in one day. During plagues, vulnerable households can find themselves in debt, limited national resources are rapidly depleted and food security can be at risk in affected countries. It can take several years and hundreds of millions of dollars to bring a plague to an end. Changes in the climate during the remainder of this century will affect Desert Locust habitats, breeding, migration and plague dynamics in West Asia and North Africa (WANA). Although it is widely acknowledged that WANA will become warmer, there are differing views about changes in precipitation under the various climate change scenarios. General trends may contain hidden variations within the regions and countries. Certain areas will become more prone to extreme events such as flooding and droughts. Regular assessment of climate change impacts is a component of the locust early warning system operated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to monitor the global situation and alert locust-affected countries and international donors. The latest scientific evidence is reviewed to postulate potential effects on the Desert Locust. It is probably reasonable to assume that this ancient pest, which is particularly well suited for survival under difficult conditions in arid areas and has successfully endured previous changes in the climate, will adapt to climate changes in the foreseeable future.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system. About authorWith two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with. In return, Victor summarizes key points from these workshops in conference talks and online meetups for the European Software Crafters, the world’s largest developer community around architecture, refactoring, and testing.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023. The most basic style of RAG works by vectorizing your data and injecting it into a vector database like Milvus for retrieval to augment the text output generated by an LLM. This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.
