Reeds Introductions: Principles of Earth Observation for Marine
Engineering Applications covers the fundamental earth-observation
concepts that underpin all space-based terrestrial and maritime remote
sensing methods. Satellite-based earth observation provides key weather
and environmental information to all nations, including key maritime
users such as navy, coastguard and merchant vessels. The application
and understanding of electromagnetic wave-based devices and sensors is
an established merchant sea service requirement, found in the Standards
in Training and Certification in Watchkeeping (STCW95) qualification
and various Maritime Coastguard Agency exams. It is vital that maritime
and land-based users have a basic understanding of the concepts upon
which these essential earth-observation systems now operate. The book
is written as simply as possible to support the growing numbers of
overseas students for whom English is not their first language. It
provides a firm foundation prior to reading and studying of the Reeds
Marine Engineering series, and is complementary to other volumes in the
Introductions series. Maritime and land-based students and scientists
having read this easy-to-read volume will be better prepared for more
in-depth study.
