Synopsis
Many advances in spaceborne instrumentation, remote sensing, and data analysis have occurred in recent years, but until now there has been no book that reflects these advances while delivering a uniform treatment of the remote sensing of frozen regions. Remote Sensing of Snowand Ice identifies unifying themes and ideas in these fields and presents them in a single volume.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the remote sensing of the Earth’s cryosphere. Explaining why cryospheric observations are important and why remote sensing observations are essential, it offers thorough surveys of the physical properties of ice and snow, and of current and emerging remote sensing techniques.
Presenting a technical review of how the properties of snow and ice relate to remote sensing observations, the book focuses on principles by which useful geophysical information becomes encoded into the electromagnetic radiation detected during the remote sensing process. The author then discusses in detail the application of remote sensing methods to snow, freshwater ice, glaciers, and icebergs. The book concludes with a summary that examines what remote sensing has revealed about the cryosphere, where major technical problems still exist, and how these problems can be addressed.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Earth's polar regions are among its least accessible locations. Remote sensing is therefore an especially useful and effective technique for observing and monitoring this environment. Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice explains why crysopheric observations are important and why remote sensing observations are desirable or even essential. It provides an outline of remote sensing techniques and methods in general as well as a thorough and up-to-date survey of the relevant remote sensing techniques that have been developed or are being developed now. The author discusses in detail the key physical properties of snow cover, "land ice" (glaciers, ice sheets, and ice shelves), sea, river, and lake ice, and icebergs. Many advances in spaceborne instrumentation, remote sensing, and data analysis have occurred in several years. This book identifies unifying themes and ideas in these fields and presents them. It also provides a comprehensive introduction to the remote sensing of the Earth's cryosphere and explains why cryospheric observations are important. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780415298315
