Airborne Measurements for Environmental Research: Methods and Instruments

Manfred Wendisch,Jean-Louis Brenguier

Description

This handbook provides the first comprehensive review of measurement principles, instruments and processing techniques for airborne observation of the Earth?s atmosphere and surface. For each field, the major principles of measurement are presented and illustrated with commonly-used airborne instruments, to assess the present capabilities in terms of accuracy, to raise awareness of specific issues with the interpretation of measurements from airborne operations, and to review emerging measurement techniques.
The authors are internationally-recognized experts in their field, who actively contribute to the design and development of modern airborne instrumentation and processing techniques. While primarily intended for climate, geophysical and atmospheric researchers, its relevance to the solar system makes this work useful to astronomers studying planetary atmospheres with telescopes and space probes.
