Download or read book Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of the Earth written by Eugene A. Sharkov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive description of the physical foundations of methods and instruments in the fields of passive remote sensing applied to investigations of the Earth, Solar system bodies and space. Emphasis is placed on the physical aspects necessary to judge the possibilities and limitations of passive remote sensing methods in specific observation cases. Numerous practical applications and illustrations are given referring to airspace up-to-date experiments. Due to the lack in traditional separation on methods and instruments of remote sensing of the Earth and outerterrestrial space this book aims to supply more information in this field.
