Global Satellite Meteorological Observation (Gsmo) Applications: Volume 2 (in English)
Synopsis "Global Satellite Meteorological Observation (Gsmo) Applications: Volume 2 (in English)"
This book presents principal structures of space systems functionality, media and applications for modern remote sensing, transmission systems, meteorological antennas, propagation meteorological observation, and transferring weather data from satellite to the ground infrastructures and users. The author presents techniques and different modes of satellite image interpretation, type of satellite imagery, spectral imaging properties, enhancement of imaging technique, geo-location and calibration, atmospheric and surface phenomena. Several satellite meteorological applications are introduced including common satellite remote sensing applications, weather analysis, warnings and prediction, observation and measurements of meteorological variables, atmosphere and surface applications, ocean and coastal applications, land, agriculture and forestry applications, and maritime and aviation satellite weather applications. The author also covers ground segment and user segment in detail. The final chapter looks to the future, covering possible space integrations in meteorological and weather observation. This is a companion book of Global Satellite Meteorological Observation Theory (Springer).
