STAQS_AircraftRemoteSensing_NASA-G3_HALO_Data is the remotely sensed trace gas data for the NASA Gulfstream III aircraft taken by the High Altitude Lidar Observatory (HALO) instrument as part of the Synergistic TEMPO Air Quality Science (STAQS) mission. Data collection for this product is complete.Launched in April 2023, NASA’s Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) satellite monitors major air pollutants across North America every daylight hour at high spatial resolution at a geostationary orbit (GEO). With these measurements, NASA’s STAQS mission seeks to integrate TEMPO satellite observations with traditional air quality monitoring to improve understanding of air quality science. STAQS is being conducted during summer 2023, targeting urban areas, including Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. As part of the mission two aircraft will be outfitted with various remote sensing payloads. The Johnson Space Center (JSC) Gulfstream-V (G-V) aircraft will feature the GeoCAPE Airborne Simulator (GCAS) and combined High Spectral Resolution Lidar-2 (HSRL-2) and Ozone Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL). This payload provides repeated high-resolution mapping of NO2, HCHO, ozone, and aerosols up to 3x per day over targeted cities. NASA Langley Research Center’s (LaRC’s) Gulfstream-III will measure city-scale emissions 2x per day over the targeted cities with the High-Altitude Lidar Observatory (HALO) and Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer – Next Generation (AVIRS-NG). STAQS will also incorporate ground-based tropospheric ozone profiles from the NASA Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLNet), NO2, HCHO, and ozone measurements from Pandora spectrometers, and will leverage existing networks operated by the EPA and state air quality agencies. The primary goal of STAQS is to improve our current understanding of air quality science under the TEMPO field of regard. Further goals include evaluating TEMPO level 2 data products, interpreting the temporal and spatial evolution of air quality events tracked by TEMPO, improving temporal estimates of anthropogenic, biogenic, and greenhouse gas emissions, and assessing the benefit of assimilating TEMPO data into chemical transport models.

IntroductionClimate Central’s Surging Seas: Risk Zone map shows areas vulnerable to near-term flooding from different combinations of sea level rise, storm surge, tides, and tsunamis, or to permanent submersion by long-term sea level rise. Within the U.S., it incorporates the latest, high-resolution, high-accuracy lidar elevation data supplied by NOAA (exceptions: see Sources), displays points of interest, and contains layers displaying social vulnerability, population density, and property value. Outside the U.S., it utilizes satellite-based elevation data from NASA in some locations, and Climate Central’s more accurate CoastalDEM in others (see Methods and Qualifiers). It provides the ability to search by location name or postal code.The accompanying Risk Finder is an interactive data toolkit available for some countries that provides local projections and assessments of exposure to sea level rise and coastal flooding tabulated for many sub-national districts, down to cities and postal codes in the U.S. Exposure assessments always include land and population, and in the U.S. extend to over 100 demographic, economic, infrastructure and environmental variables using data drawn mainly from federal sources, including NOAA, USGS, FEMA, DOT, DOE, DOI, EPA, FCC and the Census.This web tool was highlighted at the launch of The White House's Climate Data Initiative in March 2014. Climate Central's original Surging Seas was featured on NBC, CBS, and PBS U.S. national news, the cover of The New York Times, in hundreds of other stories, and in testimony for the U.S. Senate. The Atlantic Cities named it the most important map of 2012. Both the Risk Zone map and the Risk Finder are grounded in peer-reviewed science.Back to topMethods and QualifiersThis map is based on analysis of digital elevation models mosaicked together for near-total coverage of the global coast. Details and sources for U.S. and international data are below. Elevations are transformed so they are expressed relative to local high tide lines (Mean Higher High Water, or MHHW). A simple elevation threshold-based “bathtub method” is then applied to determine areas below different water levels, relative to MHHW. Within the U.S., areas below the selected water level but apparently not connected to the ocean at that level are shown in a stippled green (as opposed to solid blue) on the map. Outside the U.S., due to data quality issues and data limitations, all areas below the selected level are shown as solid blue, unless separated from the ocean by a ridge at least 20 meters (66 feet) above MHHW, in which case they are shown as not affected (no blue).Areas using lidar-based elevation data: U.S. coastal states except AlaskaElevation data used for parts of this map within the U.S. come almost entirely from ~5-meter horizontal resolution digital elevation models curated and distributed by NOAA in its Coastal Lidar collection, derived from high-accuracy laser-rangefinding measurements. The same data are used in NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer. (High-resolution elevation data for Louisiana, southeast Virginia, and limited other areas comes from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)). Areas using CoastalDEM™ elevation data: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Corn Island (Nicaragua), Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, San Blas (Panama), Suriname, The Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago. CoastalDEM™ is a proprietary high-accuracy bare earth elevation dataset developed especially for low-lying coastal areas by Climate Central. Use our contact form to request more information.Warning for areas using other elevation data (all other areas)Areas of this map not listed above use elevation data on a roughly 90-meter horizontal resolution grid derived from NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). SRTM provides surface elevations, not bare earth elevations, causing it to commonly overestimate elevations, especially in areas with dense and tall buildings or vegetation. Therefore, the map under-portrays areas that could be submerged at each water level, and exposure is greater than shown (Kulp and Strauss, 2016). However, SRTM includes error in both directions, so some areas showing exposure may not be at risk.SRTM data do not cover latitudes farther north than 60 degrees or farther south than 56 degrees, meaning that sparsely populated parts of Arctic Circle nations are not mapped here, and may show visual artifacts.Areas of this map in Alaska use elevation data on a roughly 60-meter horizontal resolution grid supplied by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This data is referenced to a vertical reference frame from 1929, based on historic sea levels, and with no established conversion to modern reference frames. The data also do not take into account subsequent land uplift and subsidence, widespread in the state. As a consequence, low confidence should be placed in Alaska map portions.Flood control structures (U.S.)Levees, walls, dams or other features may protect some areas, especially at lower elevations. Levees and other flood control structures are included in this map within but not outside of the U.S., due to poor and missing data. Within the U.S., data limitations, such as an incomplete inventory of levees, and a lack of levee height data, still make assessing protection difficult. For this map, levees are assumed high and strong enough for flood protection. However, it is important to note that only 8% of monitored levees in the U.S. are rated in “Acceptable” condition (ASCE). Also note that the map implicitly includes unmapped levees and their heights, if broad enough to be effectively captured directly by the elevation data.For more information on how Surging Seas incorporates levees and elevation data in Louisiana, view our Louisiana levees and DEMs methods PDF. For more information on how Surging Seas incorporates dams in Massachusetts, view the Surging Seas column of the web tools comparison matrix for Massachusetts.ErrorErrors or omissions in elevation or levee data may lead to areas being misclassified. Furthermore, this analysis does not account for future erosion, marsh migration, or construction. As is general best practice, local detail should be verified with a site visit. Sites located in zones below a given water level may or may not be subject to flooding at that level, and sites shown as isolated may or may not be be so. Areas may be connected to water via porous bedrock geology, and also may also be connected via channels, holes, or passages for drainage that the elevation data fails to or cannot pick up. In addition, sea level rise may cause problems even in isolated low zones during rainstorms by inhibiting drainage.ConnectivityAt any water height, there will be isolated, low-lying areas whose elevation falls below the water level, but are protected from coastal flooding by either man-made flood control structures (such as levees), or the natural topography of the surrounding land. In areas using lidar-based elevation data or CoastalDEM (see above), elevation data is accurate enough that non-connected areas can be clearly identified and treated separately in analysis (these areas are colored green on the map). In the U.S., levee data are complete enough to factor levees into determining connectivity as well.However, in other areas, elevation data is much less accurate, and noisy error often produces “speckled” artifacts in the flood maps, commonly in areas that should show complete inundation. Removing non-connected areas in these places could greatly underestimate the potential for flood exposure. For this reason, in these regions, the only areas removed from the map and excluded from analysis are separated from the ocean by a ridge of at least 20 meters (66 feet) above the local high tide line, according to the data, so coastal flooding would almost certainly be impossible (e.g., the Caspian Sea region).Back to topData LayersWater Level | Projections | Legend | Social Vulnerability | Population | Ethnicity | Income | Property | LandmarksWater LevelWater level means feet or meters above the local high tide line (“Mean Higher High Water”) instead of standard elevation. Methods described above explain how each map is generated based on a selected water level. Water can reach different levels in different time frames through combinations of sea level rise, tide and storm surge. Tide gauges shown on the map show related projections (see just below).The highest water levels on this map (10, 20 and 30 meters) provide reference points for possible flood risk from tsunamis, in regions prone to them.

According to INSPIRE transformed development plan “Behind the high altitude path (original)” of the city of Nürtingen based on an XPlanung dataset in version 5.0.

The United States has an average elevation of roughly 2,500 feet (763m) above sea level, however there is a stark contrast in elevations across the country. Highest states Colorado is the highest state in the United States, with an average elevation of 6,800 feet (2,074m) above sea level. The 10 states with the highest average elevation are all in the western region of the country, as this is, by far, the most mountainous region in the country. The largest mountain ranges in the contiguous western states are the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and Cascade Range, while the Appalachian Mountains is the longest range in the east - however, the highest point in the U.S. is Denali (Mount McKinley), found in Alaska. Lowest states At just 60 feet above sea level, Delaware is the state with the lowest elevation. Delaware is the second smallest state, behind Rhode Island, and is located on the east coast. Larger states with relatively low elevations are found in the southern region of the country - both Florida and Louisiana have an average elevation of just 100 feet (31m) above sea level, and large sections of these states are extremely vulnerable to flooding and rising sea levels, as well as intermittent tropical storms.

Overview

The Songdo Vision dataset provides high-resolution (4K, 3840×2160 pixels) RGB images annotated with categorized axis-aligned bounding boxes (BBs) for vehicle detection from a high-altitude bird’s-eye view (BeV) perspective. Captured over Songdo International Business District, South Korea, this dataset consists of 5,419 annotated video frames, featuring approximately 300,000 vehicle instances categorized into four classes:

Car (including vans and light-duty vehicles)

Bus

Truck

Motorcycle

This dataset can serve as a benchmark for aerial vehicle detection, supporting research and real-world applications in intelligent transportation systems, traffic monitoring, and aerial vision-based mobility analytics. It was developed in the context of a multi-drone experiment aimed at enhancing geo-referenced vehicle trajectory extraction.

⚠️ Important: If you use this dataset in your work, please cite the following reference [1]:

Motivation

Publicly available datasets for aerial vehicle detection often exhibit limitations such as:

Non-BeV perspectives with varying angles and distortions

Inconsistent annotation quality, with loose or missing bounding boxes

Lower-resolution imagery, reducing detection accuracy, particularly for smaller vehicles

Lack of annotation detail, especially for motorcycles in dense urban scenes with complex backgrounds

To address these challenges, Songdo Vision provides high-quality human-annotated bounding boxes, with machine learning assistance used to enhance efficiency and consistency. This ensures accurate and reliable ground truth for training and evaluating detection models.

Dataset Composition

The dataset is randomly split into training (80%) and test (20%) subsets:

Subset Images Car Bus Truck Motorcycle Total Vehicles

Train 4,335 195,539 7,030 11,779 2,963 217,311

Test 1,084 49,508 1,759 3,052 805 55,124

A subset of 5,274 frames was randomly sampled from drone video sequences, while an additional 145 frames were carefully selected to represent challenging cases, such as motorcycles at pedestrian crossings, in bicycle lanes, near traffic light poles, and around other distinctive road markers where they may blend into the urban environment.

Data Collection

The dataset was collected as part of a collaborative multi-drone experiment conducted by KAIST and EPFL in Songdo, South Korea, from October 4–7, 2022.

A fleet of 10 drones monitored 20 busy intersections, executing advanced flight plans to optimize coverage.

4K (3840×2160) RGB video footage was recorded at 29.97 FPS from altitudes of 140–150 meters.

Each drone flew 10 sessions per day, covering peak morning and afternoon periods.

The experiment resulted in 12TB of 4K raw video data.

More details on the experimental setup and data processing pipeline are available in [1].

Using a combination of public and proprietary historical construction test borings, recent exploration drilling, USGS observation wells, outcrops, and seismic measurements, a series of geospatial overlays for bedrock elevation and overburden thickness were created for the Five Boroughs of New York City, New York. Rasters were interpolated from a point elevation data set and refined using published and interpretive bedrock contours, and interpreted glacial valleys and faults. Contours for bedrock elevation were generated at 100-ft contour intervals and smoothed. This data release includes shapefiles containing the input point elevation features and output contours, and rasters of interpolated bedrock elevation and overburden thickness surfaces.

High-Altitude Charger Derating Strategies Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global High-Altitude Charger Derating Strategies market size reached USD 1.47 billion in 2024, and is anticipated to grow at a robust CAGR of 8.3% from 2025 to 2033, reaching approximately USD 2.93 billion by 2033. This growth is primarily driven by the rapid expansion of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, increasing demand for reliable power electronics in high-altitude regions, and stringent regulatory standards for charger safety and efficiency.

One of the primary growth factors propelling the High-Altitude Charger Derating Strategies market is the global surge in electric vehicle adoption, particularly in regions with challenging geographical terrains. As governments and private enterprises invest in EV charging infrastructure, the need for chargers that can operate efficiently at high altitudes—where reduced air density can significantly impact cooling and performance—has become increasingly critical. This has led to a heightened focus on derating strategies, ensuring chargers maintain reliability and safety standards even in adverse atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, advancements in power electronics and thermal management technologies are enabling manufacturers to design chargers specifically optimized for high-altitude use, thereby expanding the market potential.

Another significant driver is the growing demand for industrial and commercial applications of high-power chargers in mountainous and high-elevation regions. Industries such as mining, telecommunications, and aerospace, which frequently operate in high-altitude environments, require robust charging solutions to support a variety of equipment, from heavy-duty vehicles to sensitive electronic devices. The implementation of derating strategies is essential in these contexts to prevent overheating, electrical failures, and reduced charger lifespan. Additionally, as renewable energy projects such as wind and solar farms are increasingly sited in high-altitude locations, the need for reliable charging infrastructure that can withstand these unique environmental challenges continues to rise, further bolstering market growth.

Stringent regulatory frameworks and international standards for charger safety and performance are also contributing to the expansion of the High-Altitude Charger Derating Strategies market. Regulatory bodies across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific have introduced guidelines that require derating considerations for chargers installed above certain elevations, ensuring that end-users receive products that meet or exceed safety and efficiency benchmarks. This regulatory emphasis is driving innovation among manufacturers, encouraging the development of chargers with advanced derating algorithms and adaptive thermal management features. As a result, companies that can demonstrate compliance with these standards are gaining a competitive edge, fostering further growth within the market.

From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific currently leads the global market, accounting for the largest revenue share in 2024, followed by North America and Europe. The dominance of Asia Pacific is attributed to the region's rapid urbanization, extensive infrastructure development in mountainous areas, and the aggressive rollout of EV charging networks in countries like China and India. North America, with its significant investments in clean energy and EV adoption, is also witnessing robust growth, particularly in states with high-altitude cities such as Colorado and Utah. Meanwhile, Europe is characterized by a strong regulatory focus on environmental sustainability and technological innovation, further supporting the adoption of high-altitude charger derating strategies. The Middle East & Africa and Latin America, though smaller in market size, are expected to experience accelerated growth during the forecast period as infrastructure projects and EV penetration expand into high-altitude regions.
