Book Description
The science and technology of remote sensing is introduced in terms of its history, concepts and language, and its application to the exploitation and management of marine fisheries. The physics of electromagnetic radiation is reviewed with reference to atmospheric and target interactions. The variety of sensor platforms and sensor types are described, the latter in the context of either global or sequential acquisition systems. Environmental satellites, their associated sensors and the techniques of digital image processing also are reviewed. Direct and indirect applications of remore sensing technology to fisheries are described in general, followed by a series of specific case studies. Recommended reference material, a glossary of terms and acronyms, sources of oceanographic satellite data and a selected list of training institutions conclude this manual.

Book Description
Die großen Fortschritte in der Fernerkundung sowie die Verfügbarkeit umfangreicher neuer Satellitendaten machten die Neuauflage des bekannten 8-bändigen "Manual of Remote Sensing" erforderlich. Behandelt werden Theorie und praktische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Fernerkundungs-Satellitendaten auf geologische Problemstellungen. Darüber hinaus beschreibt Band 3 die technischen Mittel zur Erzielung der Daten (Radar, Licht-, Infrarot- und geophysikalische Sensoren) und deren Anwendungsbereiche (Exploration von Erz- und Kohlelagerstätten, Stratigraphie, technische Geologie und Umweltstudien). Dieser Band bietet eine ideale Kombination von Theorie, Datenanalyse und Fallstudien zur Veranschaulichung grundlegender Konzepte.
