Description :
The océans cover approximately 71% of Earth's surface, 90% of the biosphère and contains 97% of Earth's water. Since the first launch of SEASAT satellite in 1978, an increasing number of SAR satellites have or will become available, such as the European Space Agency's ERS-1/-2, ENVISAT, and Sentinel-1 séries; the Canadian RADARSAT-1/-2 and the upcoming RADARSAT Constellation Mission séries satellites: the Italian COSMO-SkyMed satellites, the German TERRASAR-X and TANDEM-X, and the Chinese GAOFEN-3 SAR. among others. Recently. European Space Agency has launched a new génération of SAR satellites. Sentinel-1 A in 2014 and Sentinel-1 B in 2016. Thèse SAR satellites provide researchers with free and open SAR images necessary to carry out their research on the global océans. The scope of Advances in SAR Remote Sensing of Océans is to demonstrate the types of information that can be obtained from SAR images of the océans, and the cutting-edge methods needed for analysing SAR images.
Written by leading experts in the field, and divided into four sections, the book présents the basic principles of radar backscattering from the océan surface; introduces the récent progresses in SAR remote sensing of dynamic coastal environment and management; discusses the state-of-the-art methods to monitor parameters or phenomena related to the dynamic océan environment; and deals specifically with new techniques and findings of marine atmospheric boundary layer observations.
Advances in SAR Remote Sensing of Océans is a very comprehensive and up-to-date référence intended for use by graduate students, researchers, practitioners, and R&D engineers working in the vibrant field of océans, interested to understand how SAR remote sensing can support oceanography research and applications.
