Description for Polar Remote Sensing
Hardback. Presents a discussion of the applications of satellite remote sensing and advanced ground-based remote sensing as related to polar science and operations. This book discusses the various passive and active remote sensor types before concentrating on specific geophysical applications. It contains significant information on Earth's polar regions. Series: Springer Praxis Books / Geophysical Sciences. Num Pages: 800 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1QMP; RG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 242 x 170 x 50. Weight in Grams: 1607.
The polar regions, perhaps more than any other places on Earth, give the geophysical scientist a sense of exploration. This sensibility is genuine, for not only is high-latitude ?eldwork arduous with many locations seldom or never visited, but there remains much fundamental knowledge yet to be discovered about how the polar regions interact with the global climate system. The range of opportunities for new discovery becomes strikingly clear when we realize that the high latitudes are not one region but are really two vastly di?erent worlds. The high Arctic is a frozen ocean surrounded by land, and is home to ... Read more
