FREE ebook “Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing”

Still available for free on Kindle app…

Here’s a great resource for remote sensing faculty and students. Professor Iain Woodhouse has made his eBook "Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing” available for free on Friday 26th October from Amazon. It requires the Kindle app, available for free for all devices. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U4D8EJM

From Amazon: "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.
