Scientific and applied rationales of remote sensing study - Spectral regions of electromagnetic waves.- Random (noise) signals and fields.- Noise signal measurements.- Thermal fluctuations.- Main characteristics of the emission field - Spectral intensity and flow.- Black-body and non-black-body radiations.- Physical models by calculation of radioemission of grey bodies.- Dielectric and emissive characteristics of terrestrial and planetary surfaces.- Foundations of radiation transfer.- Radiation transfer in diepersed media.- Selective radiation.- Emission of the atmosphere-surface system.- Inversion problems for passive microwave.- Passive microwave air-space missions.
From the reviews: "This book provides a numerically rigorous treatment of passive microwave remote sensing, intended to be accessible to advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and researchers. … It is undoubtedly the best one-stop standard reference book currently available for anyone interested in passive microwave remote sensing … . this book is a welcome addition to the remote sensing literature. … it can be thoroughly recommended as a reference text for university libraries or remote sensing laboratories." (Meredith Williams, Geomatics World, Vol. 13 (1), November/December, 2004)
