Opis

Microwave Remote Sensing of Land Surface: Techniques and Methods brings essential coverage of the space techniques of observation on continental surfaces. The authors explore major applications and provide detailed chapters on physical principles, physics of measurement, and data processing for each technique, bringing readers up-to-date descriptions of techniques used by leading scientists in the field of remote sensing and Earth observation.

• Presents clear-and-concise descriptions of modern methods
• Explores current remote sensing techniques that include physical aspects of measurement (theory) and their applications
• Provides physical principles, measurement, and data processing chapters that are included for each technique described
