Satellites for Atmospheric Sciences 1 & 2: Meteorology, Climate and Atmospheric Composition

Satellites for Atmospheric Sciences 1 & 2: Meteorology, Climate and Atmospheric Composition

De nombreux scientifiques des laboratoires de l’IPSL ont contribué à la rédaction de l’ouvrage « Satellites Atmospheric Sciences: Meteorology, Climate and Atmospheric Composition » publié par Wiley.

How can atmospheric variables such as temperature, wind, rain and ozone be measured by satellites? How are these measurements taken and what has been learned since the first measurements in the 1970s?

Description

What data are currently available and what data are expected in the future? The second volume of this encyclopedic book presents each field of application – meteorology, atmospheric composition and climate – with its main aims as well as the specific areas which can be addressed through the use of satellite remote sensing.

This book presents the satellite products used for operational purposes as well as those that allow for the advancement of scientific knowledge. The instruments that are at their origin are described, as well as the processing, delivery times and the knowledge they provide. This book is completed by a glossary and appendices with a list of supporting instruments already in use.

The first volume of this encyclopedic book answers these questions by reporting the history of satellite meteorology and addresses how national and international agencies define coordinated programs to cover user needs. It also presents the principles of satellite remote sensing to deliver products suited to user requirements. This book is completed by a glossary and appendices with a list of supporting instruments already in use.
