Microwave Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces
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
Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing
Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing offers an extensive overview of this versatile and extremely precise technology for technically oriented undergraduates and graduate students. This textbook emphasizes an important shift in conceptualization and directs it toward students with prior knowledge of optical remote sensing: the author dispels any linkage between microwave and optical remote sensing. Instead, he constructs the concept of microwave remote sensing by comparing it to the process of audio perception, explaining the workings of the ear as a metaphor for microwave instrumentation. This volume takes an “application-driven” approach. Instead of describing the technology and the...
Microwave Remote Sensing of Sea Ice
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 68. Human activities in the polar regions have undergone incredible changes in this century. Among these changes is the revolution that satellites have brought about in obtaining information concerning polar geophysical processes. Satellites have flown for about three decades, and the polar regions have been the subject of their routine surveillance for more than half that time. Our observations of polar regions have evolved from happenstance ship sightings and isolated harbor icing records to routine global records obtained by those satellites. Thanks to such abundant data, we now know a great deal about the ice-covered seas, which constitute about 10% of the Earth's surface. This explosion of information about sea ice has fascinated scientists for some 20 years. We are now at a point of transition in sea ice studies; we are concerned less about ice itself and more about its role in the climate system. This change in emphasis has been the prime stimulus for this book.

Monumental as a compilation of the present engineering state of the art of microwave remote sensing. -- International Journal of Remote Sensing
Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of the Earth
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.
Theory of Microwave Remote Sensing
The first single-volume guide to the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of microwave remote sensing, combining detailed coverage of mathematical derivations relevant to propagation and scattering in physical media with physical examples and practical applications to microwave theory. Covers scattering and emission by layered media, radiative transfer theory, solutions to radiative transfer equations with applications to remote sensing, analytic wave theory for scattering by layered random media, and scattering by random discrete scatterers.
