Informationen zum Autor Blaunstein! Nathan; Arnon! Shlomi; Kopeika! Natan; Zilberman! Arkadi Klappentext This book explores the practical aspects of atmospheric optical communication and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR). Covering both in light-of-sight and obstructive non-line-of-sight conditions! the text explains the role of all kinds of atmospheric structures and processes on the corresponding propagation phenomena that influence the transmission of optical signals through communication channels. After introducing the quasi-regular gaseous atmosphere! the authors detail situations in the atmospheric communication channel! discuss applied aspects of LIDAR! describe the characteristics of optical communication channels! and provide parameters for an information data stream. Zusammenfassung Exploring the practical aspects of atmospheric optical communication and light detection and ranging (LIDAR), this book details the role of atmospheric structures in propagation phenomena that influence the transmission of optical signals through perturbed atmospheric communication channels. It also introduces the quasi-regular gaseous atmosphere. Inhaltsverzeichnis Atmosphere: Structure and Processes. Vertical Profiles of Temperature, Pressure, and Number Density. Aerosols.
