"Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing" is Prof Woodhouse's well known introduction to the history, principles and usefulness of remote sensing in the microwave region of the spectrum. The fundamentals focus on the properties of electromagnetic radiation, including polarisation and interference, and explain the basis of why microwave measurements are different from other forms of remote sensing. Uniquely, this book uses the human ear as the basis of explaining microwave sensor systems.The book covers microwave sounding of the atmosphere, passive imaging and synthetic aperture radar. This book is aimed at students who have some technical remote sensing background but are looking to get to grips with why microwave systems are different and to understand the core principles that are exploited to make measurements of the Earth system. Iain Woodhouse is a professor of Applied Earth ...
