Optical Remote Sensing: Science and Technology (Optical Science and Engineering, Volume 84)

Buy
In recent years, much has transpired in the field of remote sensing and, in particular, polarization. Polarization is an outgrowth of multiple, highly accurate photometric measurements. Plane polarization is the difference between precision photometric measurements in two mutually perpendicular directions. Circular polarization is used as a refinement in the complete description of the optical properties of surfaces and of the atmosphere in terms of Stokes parameters.

This book explores advanced concepts in the mathematical representation of polarization, descriptors, and various optical elements used in the analysis of polarization in multiple applications—highlighting tried and proven techniques to enhance aircraft and satellite technology and determine the photometric and polarimetric properties of atmosphere, ground surfaces, and inner and outer space. Experiments such as the NASA Lear Airborne Observatory and the Mariner explorers are presented as a basis for many of the recent advances in remote sensing and polarization.

Designed for use in remote sensing courses and as a reference text, the level of treatment is appropriate for undergraduates, but advanced high school students may investigate the material with great advantage. The book also serves as a reference for graduate-level college students and researchers.

The book will be useful to students and workers in aircraft and satellite remote sensing in geology and atmospheric sciences, the military, natural resources, agriculture, forestry, ranching, urban resources, hydrology, pollution (marine and atmospheric), the environment, limnology, seismology, and oceanography.

Modern Cosmology
Modern Cosmology

Modern Cosmology begins with an introduction to the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, including careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. From this starting point, the reader is introduced to perturbations about an FRW universe: their...

Vatican assassins: "wounded in the house of my friends"
Eric Jon Phelps gives the past and present diabolical history of the Society of Jesus. Its Second Thirty Years' War (1914-1945), including the Jewish, Lutheran, Orthodox and Buddhist Holocausts, was vengeance for the Order's expulsion from Europe and Asia during the Nineteenth Century.

Its Cold War was the coninuation of the killing of

Seismic Imaging and Inversion: Volume 1: Application of Linear Inverse Theory
Seismic Imaging and Inversion: Volume 1: Application of Linear Inverse Theory

Extracting information from seismic data requires knowledge of seismic wave propagation and reflection. The commonly used method involves solving linearly for a reflectivity at every point within the Earth, but this book follows an alternative approach which invokes inverse scattering theory. By developing the theory of seismic imaging from...
