Remote sensing of snow and ice / W. Gareth Rees.

By: Rees, Gareth W, 1959-.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Boca Raton : Taylor & Francis, 2006Description: xix, 285 p. : ill. (some col.), maps (somecol.) ; 24 cm.ISBN: 9780415298315.Subject(s): SNOW | ICE | REMOTE SENSING | CRYOSPHERE | METHODSHoldings: CHRISTCHURCH: 556.124.1 REM
Contents:
Ch. 1. The cryosphere -- Remote sensing systems for observation of the earth's surface -- Image processing techniques -- Physical properties of snow and ice -- Remote sensing of snow cover -- Remote sensing of sea ice -- Remote sensing of freshwater ice -- Remote sensing of glaciers, ice sheets, and ice shelves -- Remote sensing of icebergs -- Conclusions.
Summary: "Many advances in spaceborne instrumentation, remote sensing, and data analysis have occurred in recent years, but until now there has been no book that reflects these advances while delivering a uniform treatment of the remote sensing of frozen regions. Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice identifies unifying themes and ideas in these fields and presents them in a single volume." "This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the remote sensing of the Earth's cryosphere. Explaining why cryospheric observations are important and why remote sensing observations are essential, it offers thorough surveys of the physical properties of ice and snow, and of current and emerging remote sensing techniques."--BOOK JACKET.
