A one-a-kind resource, this book focuses on the utility of thermal infrared remote sensing data for understanding the fluxes and redistribution of materials as a key aspect of land surface processes and land-atmosphere interrelationships. It takes a practical approach to the use of thermal remote sensing data in landscape characterization and analysis. Providing background on the theory and principles of TIR remote sensing, the book highlights the importance of information obtained...
More DescriptionA one-a-kind resource, this book focuses on the utility of thermal infrared remote sensing data for understanding the fluxes and redistribution of materials as a key aspect of land surface processes and land-atmosphere interrelationships. It takes a practical approach to the use of thermal remote sensing data in landscape characterization and analysis. Providing background on the theory and principles of TIR remote sensing, the book highlights the importance of information obtained from thermal data and compares it to the type of data obtained by other methods. A how-to book illustrating the utility and applications of thermal remote sensing data in multidisciplinary earth science research, this book is useful as a professional reference or graduate text.
