Synopsis

Field Measurements for Environmental Remote Sensing: Instrumentation, Intensive Campaigns, and Satellite Applications is an academic synthesis of invaluable in situ measurements and techniques leveraged by the science of environmental remote sensing. Sections cover in situ datasets and observing methods used for satellite remote sending applications and validation, synthesizing the various techniques utilized by well-established application areas under a common paradigm. The book serves as both a textbook for students (upper-level undergraduate to graduate level) and a reference book for practitioners and researchers in the atmospheric, oceanic and remote sensing fields.

• Presents chapters organized according to subdiscipline, with each written by established experts in their relevant field
• Includes literature reviews, case studies and applications for each subdivision
• Features a synthesis of the suite of invaluable in situ measurements and techniques leveraged by the science of environmental remote sensing

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Nicholas Nalli received his B.S and M.S. degrees in Education from the State University of New York, College at Oneonta, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was awarded a four-year Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), Colorado State University, which he completed onsite at NOAA/NESDIS/STAR as a Visiting Scientist. Dr. Nalli is currently a Senior Research Scientist (onsite contractor) at STAR, where he performs applied and basic research. His primary research specialty is in environmental satellite remote sensing, radiative transfer and validation, with a focus on oceanic and atmospheric applications. Other research interests include atmospheric aerosols, air-sea interactions, boundary layer and marine meteorology, oceanographic intensive field campaigns, forensic science, and global climate change applications. He is also interested and active in science education and public outreach.

From the Back Cover

Field Measurements for Environmental Remote Sensing: Instrumentation, Intensive Campaigns, and Satellite Applications is an academic synthesis of the suite of invaluable in situ measurements and techniques leveraged by the science of environmental remote sensing. Documentation on satellite cal/val is typically found at either at a somewhat vague and nonspecific overview level or at a highly specialized and specific technical-report level, with little to no systematic treatment as an emergent general subdiscipline of remote sensing.

Field Measurements for Environmental Remote Sensing provides a novel in-depth, interdisciplinary look at in situ datasets and observing methods used for satellite remote sending applications and validation, synthesizing the various techniques utilized by well-established application areas under a common paradigm. The book serves as both a textbook for students (upper level undergraduate to graduate level) and a reference book for practitioners and researchers in the atmospheric, oceanic and remote sensing fields.
