Download or read book Remote Sensing of the Lower Atmosphere written by Graeme L. Stephens and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introductory graduate-level text on atmospheric remote sensing. The basic interaction between radiation and the atmosphere is examined, and illustrated with actual sensing examples. The focus is on understanding the interactions rather than on presenting mathematical details. The text also serves to supplement atmospheric radiation topics, placing the technology and its application in the broader perspective of contemporary meteorology and atmospheric science. Each chapter is followed by a series of exercises, and Appendix 2 gives five computer projects designed for classroom applications.
