Furthermore, the book covers the basic concepts of satellite remote sensing of the atmosphere, followed by Ionospheric remote sensing tools like Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very Low Frequency (VLF) wave. Sections emphasize the applications of atmospheric remote study in Ionospheric perturbation, fire detection, aerosol characteristics over land, ocean and Himalayan regions. 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 are discussed.
This book is a valuable reference for students, researchers and professionals working in atmospheric science, remote sensing, and related disciplines.
- Covers the fundamentals of remote sensing as applied to atmospheric science
- Includes methods and applications of remote sensing technologies for atmospheric science and related disciplines in earth science
- Includes full color photographs and figures that visually represent concepts discussed in the book
