Listed below are some of the biosphere's major influences on greenhouse gases. 1  Plants: Carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere by plants during the process of photosynthesis. This promotes cooler climates. 2  Farm animals: Methane gas is produced as farm animals such as cattle and sheep digest their food.
Signal intelligence incorporates the sub-disciplines of communications intelligence (COMINT) electronics intelligence (ELINT), and foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT). COMINT has the greatest impact on the day-to-day performance of Army missions.
MASINT and technical intelligence (TECHINT) can overlap. A good distinction is that a technical intelligence analyst often has possession of a piece of enemy equipment, such as an artillery round, which can be evaluated in a laboratory. MASINT, even MASINT materials intelligence, has to infer things about an object that it can only sense remotely.
