Eric D. Conway and the Maryland Space Grant Consortium present a
fascinating introduction to the interpretation of satellite
imagery, a technology of increasing importance for a wide variety
of scientific applications. Prepared in association with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this
extensively illustrated text and accompanying CD-ROM offer a
thorough overview of the use of satellite technology in Earth and
planetary science, weather forecasting, and environmental
research.
The book covers the foundations of remote sensing, the types of
satellites, and the basics of satellite image interpretation. Other
topics include geographical, oceanographical applications, and
atmospheric science applications of satellite imagery. With a fully
indexed glossary, this well-written and thoughtfully presented text
is ideal for science teachers, undergraduate and graduate students,
professionals working in the field of operational meteorology, and
others interested in knowing more about interpreting satellite
imagery. The accompanying CD-ROM of satellite images enables the
user to zoom in on many images (some of which appear in color), use
overlays to identify important elements in the satellite image, and
keep a notes file. The program requires a Macintosh, Windows, or
Windows 95 operating system.
