8vo-over 7?"-9?" tall. Classic comprehensive highly acclaimed text presents a detailed study of active and passive microwave remote sensing of earth's terrains such as snow, ice, rainfall, soil moisture, vegetation cover, forestry, and clouds. Topics include: scattering and emission by layered media; radiative transfer theory-extinction matrix, emission vector, and scattering phase matrices; analytic wave theory for scattering by layered random media; scattering by random discrete scatterers; solutions of radiative transfer equations with applications to remote sensing; etc. 613 pgs.
