Kokhanovsky A.A., de Leeuw G. (eds) Satellite Aerosol Remote Sensing over Land

Springer, Praxis, 2009, 398 pp.
This book summarizes current knowledge on aerosol optical thickness retrieval from space, based on passive measurements of the reflected solar radiation. The book is written by experts in the field facing problems of retrievals of aerosol properties from space. Therefore it gives a flavor of current research on the frontier of satellite remote sensing. It shows advances and shortcomings of different techniques developed worldwide.Introduction – G. de Leeuw, A.A. Kokhanovsky.
