Beschreibung:
Remote sensing instruments for monitoring global changes are examined. The use of the earth observing system, a set of instrument platforms in polar, sun-synchoronous orbit that provide coverage of the entire globe, is discussed. The radar and imaging spectrometers utilized to obtain surface measurements are described. Atmospheric data is collected by the atmospheric IR sounder, the tropospheric emission spectrometer, and the stratospheric wind IR limb sounder. Consideration is given to the operation of the microwave limb sounder, the active cavity radiometer, and the TDRSS.
