Multiscale Hydrologic Remote Sensing: Perspectives and
Applications integrates advances in hydrologic science and
innovative remote sensing technologies. Raising the visibility of
interdisciplinary research on water resources, it offers a suite of
tools and platforms for investigating spatially and temporally
continuous hydrological variables and processes.
Illustrated in color, this book examines components in the
hydrologic cycle with a range of space and time scales. Organized
into five parts, it explores hydrologic remote sensing at the
local, urban, watershed, and regional scales, as well as the
continental and global scale. Contributors address questions such
as
- What are the local, watershed, and regional differences in soil
moisture and evapotranspiration when using different measurement
methods and models?
- How can we fit the scenarios of global warming potential and
the remote sensing products of snow water equivalent into
hydrologic modeling to address the changing flood and drought
conditions in a watershed?
- How can we fuse the images collected by different satellites to
improve the accuracy of predictions at the global scale?
Tackling these and many other topics, the book presents new
techniques and methods for spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based
measurements and mathematical modeling. It also discusses remote
sensing image processing tools and features a wealth of real-world
applications and case studies.
This book is a useful reference for students, professionals,
scientists, and policy makers involved in the study of global
change, hydrologic science, meteorology, climatology, biology,
ecology, and the agricultural and forest sciences. It shows how
hydrologic remote sensing technologies can be used more effectively
to explore global change impacts and improve the design of
hydrologic observatories.
