This book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the
6 Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of
the Environment held in Florence, Italy on March 15-18, 1999.
Over the last two decades, passive microwave remote sensing has
made considerable progress, and has achieved significant results in
the study of the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Many years of
observations with ground-based and satellite-borne sensors have
made an important contribution to improving our knowledge of many
geophysical processes of the Earth's environment and of global
changes. The evolution in microwave radiometers aboard satellites
has increased steadily over recent years. At the same time, many
investigations have been carried out both to improve the algorithms
for the retrieval of geophysical parameters and to develop new
technologies.
The book is divided into four main sections: three of these are
devoted to the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere,
and the fourth, to future missions and new technologies. The first
section deals with the study of sea and land surfaces, and reports
recent advances in remote sensing of ocean wind, sea ice, soil
moisture and vegetation biomass, including electromagnetic
modelling and the assimilation of radiometric data in models of
land surface processes. The following two sections are devoted to
the measurement of atmospheric quantities which are of fundamental
importance in climatology and meteorology, and, since they
influence radio-wave propagation, they also impact on several other
fields, including geodesy, navigational satellite and
radioastronomy. The last section presents an overview of new
technologies and plansfor future missions.
Recent advances in theory and observations using passive microwave
remote sensing have hightlighted the potential of spaceborne
sensors for contributing to the required land surface measurements
of soils, vegetation, snow cover and precipitation. Furthermore,
the spatial resolution of passive microwave observations matches
the special scales of large-scale models of land-atmosphere
interactions both for data assimilation and validation. In order to
stimulate and focus this research a workshop, sponsored by ESA and
NASA, was organized to review the state-of-the-art in microwave
radiometry related to land applications and to exchange ideas
leading into new directions for future research. This volume
contains the refereed papers from the aforementioned ESA/NASA
workshop, which are arranged by topic, as well as the (edited)
working group reports.
