Space remote sensing systems: An introduction
Abstract
An introductory primer on space remote sensing technologies and their applications is presented. Among the specific technologies discussed are: spaceborne radiation collector systems; space detectors; and passive space radiometers. Consideration is also given to: passive space spectrometer systems; passive space microwave radiometers; active space lidar systems; and active synthetic aperture radar and scatterometer systems. Some of the atmospheric phenomena which influence the reliability of remote sensing data are also discussed.
