Summary: "The Physics of Earth Remote Sensing is a textbook that examines the physical principles underlying remote observations of the Earth by optical, infrared, and microwave sensors. This textbook focuses on both the techniques used to make remote measurements, as well as the algorithms used to extract geophysical information from remote sensing observations. Both passive and active sensors are considered. While the text primarily concentrates on satellite-based remote sensing of the environment, remote sensors deployed from aircraft and other platforms are also described"--
