Description
John Wiley Principles And Applications Of Imaging Radar: Manual Of Remote Sensing, 3Rd Edition by Henderson
Remote Sensing refers to information about the earth's land forms, climate, vegetation and other features acquired by the use of satellite techniques. This book deals with satellites that are sensitive to radiation in the radar microwave range, a region of the spectrum where observation is unimpeded by clouds and rich with information for: 1. Agricultural applications, such as identifying crops and monitoring their growth 2. Soil Science applications such as estimating moisture content and temperature 3. Forestry applications such as inventory mapping 4. Applications in geology such as land form mapping, oil exploration, hydrology 5. Oceanographic applications such as detecting currents and waves 5. Many other applications from studies of land use and urban analysis to archaeological research.
