Antennas and Radar for Environmental Scientists and Engineers

This comprehensive, self-contained book covers everything needed to understand how radar signals are used to study Earth's environment.

About the author

David Hysell is a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University, New York. His research focuses on ionospheric plasma physics, plasma instabilities, ionospheric irregularities, and their effects on radio wave propagation. An important research tool for studying the equatorial ionosphere is the Jicamarca Radio Observatory near Lima, Peru, which is the world's largest radar. Hysell is the Principal Investigator for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Agreement that supports Jicamarca.

Summary

This book gives a complete overview of the scientific and engineering aspects of radio and radar pertaining to studies of the Earth environment, for graduate students and researchers across the Earth and environmental sciences and engineering.
