Introduction to satellite remote sensing: atmosphere, ocean, land and cryosphere applications / William Emery, Adriano Camps. - Amsterdam, Netherlands ; Cambridge, MA : Elsevier, c2017. - xiv, 856 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 811-841) and index.
The history of satellite remote sensing -- Basic electromagnetic concepts and applications -- Optical imaging systems -- Microwave radiometry -- Radar -- Remote sensing using global navigation satellite system signals of opportunity -- Orbital mechanics, image navigation, and cartographic projections -- Atmosphere applications -- Ocean applications -- Land applications -- Cryosphere applications -- Remote sensing with small satellites.
"Introduction to Satellite Remote Sensing provides readers with a one-stop-shop for a complete introduction of remote sensing, covering all the basics in terms of physics, sensors, and modalities, as well as a wide variety of applications. This is the first reference book to cover the atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, and cryospheric applications of remote sensing. Remote sensing data is finding increasing application in fields as diverse as wildlife ecology and costal recreation management, and this book will aid the reader interested in any of these fields. Introduction to Satellite Remote Sensing opens with an introduction on the history of remote sensing, starting from when the phase was first coined. It goes on to discuss the basic concepts of the various systems and leads on to atmospheric, oceanic applications and closes with detailed sections on terrestrial and cryospheric applications. Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of the authors’ experience and the content covered, this is a must-have reference book for all practitioners and students requiring an introduction to the field of remote sensing."--Back cover
