Remote sensing  

Description

Radar and radiometer systems are used from satellites and aircrafts to measure and monitor the surface of the Earth, including the land surfaces, the oceans and the atmosphere. This is called remote sensing or Earth observation and is of utmost importance for monitoring the Earth’s environment and climate. The general course objectives are to provide the students with an understanding of those radar and radiometer techniques and systems that are used for remote sensing, with a special emphasis on the technical description of the sensors and on the application of these techniques for measuring and monitoring of properties of the surface of the Earth. This also includes knowledge about the necessary data processing techniques.
