Hydrologic and Land Sciences Applications of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Polar-Orbiting Satellite Data

摘要

The satellite applications training aid focuses on the use of NOAA satellite data for hydrologic applications (snow cover mapping, flood monitoring and soil moisture analysis; Renewable Resources) monitoring vegetation progress and health, forest management, fire monitoring and detection, urban effects, dust storm monitoring, volcanic activity and geologic assessment. Annotated examples of satellite imagery detail the photo interpretation details.
