Antenna theory
- LiDAR Remote Sensing
- Microwave Remote Sensing
- Optical imaging -overview of Earth observation satellite imaging systems in the reflective domain.
- Atmospheric remote sensing
- Land surface remote sensing -this lecture is an introduction to the characterization of terrestrial surfaces by remote sensing,
mainly in the solar domain. At first, the different modes of interaction of solar radiation with continental
surfaces are discussed. The second part of the lecture is devoted to the determination of the biochemical
and structural parameters of vegetation by hyperspectral and multiangular remote sensing, from the leaf
scale to the ecosystem. In the last part, we discuss the quantification of energy balance on the surface of
the Earth and its importance in climate models. Emphasis is put on physical modeling at different scales.
