Many advances in spaceborne instrumentation, remote sensing, and
data analysis have occurred in recent years, but until now there
has been no book that reflects these advances while delivering a
uniform treatment of the remote sensing of frozen regions. Remote
Sensing of Snow and Ice identifies unifying themes and ideas in
these fields and presents them in a single volume.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the remote
sensing of the Earth's cryosphere. Explaining why cryospheric
observations are important and why remote sensing observations are
essential, it offers thorough surveys of the physical properties of
ice and snow, and of current and emerging remote sensing
techniques.
Presenting a technical review of how the properties of snow and
ice relate to remote sensing observations, the book focuses on
principles by which useful geophysical information becomes encoded
into the electromagnetic radiation detected during the remote
sensing process. The author then discusses in detail the
application of remote sensing methods to snow, freshwater ice,
glaciers, and icebergs. The book concludes with a summary that
examines what remote sensing has revealed about the cryosphere,
where major technical problems still exist, and how these problems
can be addressed.
