1. Fundamentals 2. Weather Systems Observed in Satellite Imagery 3. Estimation of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Land Parameters 4. Measurement of Parameters by Active Sensors 5. Evolving Scenario
Ever since the launch of the world's first weather satellite in 1960, satellite meteorology has had a phenomenal growth. What is all the more significant is that India has kept pace with the United States, Europe and Japan in this field. After the first edition of this book was published in 2006, satellite meteorology has made greater strides, particularly in India. This second edition of 2016 covers them all, making it the most up-to-date book on the subject. It can serve both as a university text book and as a guide for operational meteorologists. It has a wealth of technical information that can be a source of reference for scientists and research workers in atmospheric and environmental sciences, oceanography and remote sensing.
The book deals with
Satellite image interpretation techniques
Estimation of atmospheric, oceanic and land parameters from satellite data
Measurement of parameters by active remote sensing
Tropical weather systems and monsoons
Use of satellite data for climate change applications
India's INSAT and Kalpana satellite missions
Future possibilities in satellite meteorology
