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 Snowand 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.
