Earth Surface Temperature Observation: Remote Sensing Applications

By Christopher John Merchant, Jose a Sobrino, Stephan Matthiesen

The book gives a unified account of how to use contemporary satellite observations to infer the temperature of Earth's surface. It describes the general principles involved; discusses in turn the aspects that are specific to different types of surface (sea, land, ice/snow, lake and urban); reviews the state of research in each case; and shows how the observations benefit society by providing information relevant to climate, weather, oceans, agriculture and health.
