039591
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic remote sensing techniques and their applications to the atmosphere, hydrology and other fields. This includes understanding the basic concepts of radiation transfer, passive and active remote sensing, satellite and ground-based remote sensing and their retrieval techniques. Finally, inversion techniques in remote sensing will be briefly introduced and the uncertainties/errors of the retrieved cloud and precipitation properties will be estimated.
