Description
Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle is
an outcome of the AGU Chapman Conference held in February
2012. This is a comprehensive volume that examines the use of
available remote sensing satellite data as well as data from
future missions that can be used to expand our knowledge in
quantifying the spatial and temporal variations in the terrestrial
water cycle.
Volume highlights include:
- An in-depth discussion of the global water
cycle
- Approaches to various problems in climate, weather,
hydrology, and agriculture
- Applications of satellite remote sensing in measuring
precipitation, surface water, snow, soil
moisture, groundwater, modeling, and data
assimilation
- A description of the use of satellite data for accurately
estimating and monitoring the components of the hydrological
cycle
- Discussion of the measurement of multiple geophysical variables
and properties over different landscapes on a temporal and a
regional scale
Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle is a valuable
resource for students and research professionals in the
hydrology, ecology, atmospheric sciences, geography, and
geological sciences communities.
