Atmospheric Remote Sensing by Microwave Radiometry (Wiley Series in Remote Sensing) - Tapa dura

This volume presents the state of the art of passive microwave remote sensing. The focus of the book is on the applications of various types of microwave observational data for the purpose of determining atmospheric properties. The data presented enables testing of existing models of the atmosphere's energy balance, depletion of the ozone layer, climate trends and other environmental data. The emphasis throughout is on fundamentals and method, which will retain their value as new results supersede those presented in the context of this volume.

MICHAEL A. JANSSEN has over twenty years experience in the microwave remote sensing of the atmospheres of the Earth and planets, and in the development of ground- and space-based radiometers for astrophysics and remote sensing. He is a member of the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) mission and the Cassini radar science teams, and was recently awarded the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for his contributions to COBE. He is currently Manager of the Space Physics and Astrophysics Section of the Earth and Space Sciences Division at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
