Advances in the Use of NOAA AVHRR Data for Land Applicators Based on the lectures given during the Eurocourse on `Advances in the Use of AVHRR Data for Land Applications" held at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy, Devember 6-12, 1993

About this book

This volume covers aspects of NOAA AVHRR data collection, pre-processing, analysis and application. It includes many FTP sites, e-mail addresses and URL locations. Some chapters address particular aspects of the NOAA AVHRR system, such as radiometric calibration and geometric correction, while others provide general information of interest to any remote sensing study, such as radiative transfer modelling and atmospheric correction.
