Synopsis
This a text intended to occupy the middle ground between brief review papers on oceanographic applications of remote sensing and detailed technical reports about sensors and satellites. It provides marine scientists with a broad introduction to the subject from first principles and an explanation of the different techniques for applying satellite data in oceanography. It also gives sensor technologists and remote sensing specialists an oceanographer's perspective of satellite remote sensing in ocean study and provides a view across all types of satellite remote sensing of the ocean, visible, infrared and microwave frequencies, and both active and passive sensors. The book is intended for the use of postgraduate and undergraduate students and assumes a general scientific training. The author introduces the subject from first principles, discussing central ideas and theories. A section on fundamental principles follows in a manner accessible to scientists from all disciplines, with no mathematical competence assumed beyond that of any numerate scientist. The next section explores the areas of application using particular remote sensing techniques.
Included here are certain mechanisms which may be difficult for non-physical scientists: in such cases, the author offers assistance by referring to suitable texts. This book will inform practising scientists, giving an overview of all types of oceanographic satellite remote sensing. There is also sufficient information for specialist readers to understand oceanographic remote sensing processes and their applications, and sufficient breadth to inform the non-specialist where remote sensing makes a contribution to marine science."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
