Remote Sensing Physics: An Introduction to Observing Earth from Space, 1st Edition

.\nADVANCED TEXTBOOK SERIES\nRemote Sensing Physics\nAn Introduction to Observing Earth from Space\nThe 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.\nRemote Sensing Physics: An Introduction to Observing Earth from Space 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.\nVolume highlights include:\nBasis for Earth remote sensing including ocean, land, and atmosphere\nDescription of satellite orbits relevant for Earth observations\nPhysics of passive sensing, including infrared, optical and microwave imagers\nPhysics of active sensing, including radars and lidars\nOverview of current and future Earth observation missions\nCompendium of resources including an extensive bibliography\nSample problem sets and answers available to instructors\nThe 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.\nRemote Sensing Physics: An Introduction to Observing Earth from Space 1st Edition is written by Rick Chapman; Richard Gasparovic and published by American Geophysical Union.
