Elsevier Atmospheric Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications (Earth Observation)

Product Description Atmospheric Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications begins with a comprehensive discussion of the fundamental principles of atmospheric remote sensing and their applications in different research domains. Furthermore, in detail, it covers the basic concepts of satellite remote sensing of the atmosphere, followed by the Ionospheric remote sensing tools like Global Positioning System (GPS), and Very Low Frequency (VLF) wave. It also emphasizes the applications of atmospheric remote study in Ionospheric perturbation, fire detection, aerosol characteristics over the land, ocean, and Himalayan region. In addition, the application of atmospheric remote sensing in disaster management like dust storms, cyclones, smoke plume, aerosol-cloud interaction, and their impact on climate change is also discussed in the book. Atmospheric Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications is a valuable reference for students, researchers and professionals working in atmospheric science, remote sensing, and related disciplines.
