Overview

This volume contains a collection of refereed papers which were presented at the Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment held in Rome, Italy, 14-17 February 1994. The last decade has marked a period of steady advancement and new developments in the observation of the terrestrial environments by passive microwave sensors. Both ground-based and satellite-borne systems have improved their accuracy, stability and spatial resolution and are providing a wealth of quantitative data, which are increasingly being employed in applications-oriented projects. The contributions to this volume cover different fields of applications of microwave radiometry, the various observation and retrieval techniques and the recent technological developments. The articles are divided into four sections: measurement of atmospheric water vapour and cloud liquid, measurement of rain, observation of the surface and new radiometric systems. This book should be of interest to researchers in the fields of microwave radiometry and remote sensing.
