Earth Science Satellite Remote Sensing: Science And Instruments

This book presents current applications of remote sensing techniques for clouds and precipitation for the benefit of students, educators, and scientists. It covers ground-based systems such as weather radars and spaceborne instruments on satellites. Measurements and modeling of precipitation are at the core of weather forecasting, and long-term observations of the cloud system are vital to improving atmospheric models and climate projections.

This volume is dedicated to classification and interpretation of the processes taking place on the Earth and in space.
