Remote Sensing Physics

Zusatztext

<b>An introduction to the physical principles underlying Earth remote sensing.</b><br /><p>The development of spaceborne remote sensing technology has led to a new understanding of the complexity of our planet by allowing us to observe Earth and its environments on spatial and temporal scales that are unavailable to terrestrial sensors.</p><p><i>Remote Sensing Physics: An Introduction to Observing Earth from Space</i> is a graduate-level text that examines the underlying physical principles and techniques used to make remote measurements, along with the algorithms used to extract geophysical information from those measurements.</p><p><b>Volume highlights include:</b></p><ul><li>Basis for Earth remote sensing including ocean, land, and atmosphere</li><li>Description of satellite orbits relevant for Earth observations</li><li>Physics of passive sensing, including infrared, optical and microwave imagers</li><li>Physics of active sensing, including radars and lidars</li><li>Overview of current and future Earth observation missions</li><li>Compendium of resources including an extensive bibliography</li><li>Sample problem sets and answers available to instructors</li></ul><p><i>The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.</i></p>
