The global nature of atmospheric change makes satellite remote sensing a key tool in the investigation of these processes. Reflecting its importance, this book provides a comprehensive resource on remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere. It begins with a review of the properties and behavior of the Earth's atmosphere, then discusses retrieval theory, including applications, and remote sounding. Each chapter contains problems as exercises to test reader comprehension. By providing a single volume that combines radiative transfer and retrieval theory with examples of most instrument types, this book should become a vade mecum for atmospheric scientists.
