Spectral Imaging of the Atmosphere

Klappentext Optical instruments are routinely employed to obtain a wealth of information about the atmosphere! including its composition! temperature! and winds. A bewildering variety of optical instruments have been proposed over the years! making it difficult to decide which instrument should be chosen to make a specific measurement. Spectral Imaging of the Atmosphere traces the evolution of fundamental spectral imaging theories to present day technological implementations. Shepherd's work provides both scientists and engineers with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts they need to know in order to plan a program of atmospheric measurements.
