In straightforward terms, the author explains remote sensing from space. He reviews extant space-based satellites and their instruments and describes the areas in which operational and research missions are gathering more data eg Earth-sun interaction, land vegetation patterns and the atmosphere.
In straight forward terms, D.James Baker explains remote sensing from space. He reviews extant space-based satellites and their instruments and describes the areas in which operational and research missions are gathering ever-increasiing data - on Earth-sun interaction, land vegetation patterns, the atmosphere, the Earth's gravity field - which fill gaps in our knowledge even as they raise a few questions about critical global processes. "Planet Earth" is a well-illustrated introduction to Earth observing satellite technology for the nonspecialist and specialist alike. It distills complex information that is otherwise availiable only in the technical literature. For those who follow space research, it should prove an indispensible guide.
