Microwave Remote Sensing of Land Surface: Techniques and Methods

In the last ten years, spatial observation of the Earth, and particularly of continental surfaces, have expanded considerably with the launch of increasing numbers of satellites covering various applications (hydrology, biosphere, flow of surface, snow, ice, landslide, floods). This has paved the way for an explosion in the use of teledetection data. This book brings essential coverage of the space techniques of observation on continental surfaces. The authors explore major applications and provide a detailed chapter for the physical principles, physics of measurement and data processing for each technique, bringing you up-to-date descriptions of techniques used by leading scientists in the field of remote sensing and Earth observation. Clear and concise descriptions of modern methodsExplores the most current remote sensing techniques with physical aspects of the measurement (theory) and their applicationsPhysical principles, measurement and data processing chapters are provided for each technique described
