Lecture 6: Thermal Radiation
3.Thermal infrared: emitted, can only be detected using electro-optical sensors (3.0 - 5.0 and 8 - 14 µm). Microwave Radar sensors, wavelengths range from 1mm - 1m (Ka, Ku, X, C, S, L & P) Spectral bands Three important spectral bands in remote sensing: ¥visible light ¥infrared radiation ¥microwave radiation Image from NASA 1987.

Waves and Weather - topex.ucsd.edu
topex.ucsd.eduWhere do waves come from? ==> Wind! Any two fluids (with different density) moving at different speeds can produce waves. In our case, air is one fluid and the water is the other.
The Gravity Field of the Earth - Part 1 (Copyright 2002 ...
topex.ucsd.eduThe mass is in orbit about the center of the Earth so the outward centrifugal force is balanced by the inward gravitational force; this is Kepler’s third law. If we measure the radius of the satellite orbit r and the orbital frequency ω s, we can estimate GM e. For example the satellite Geosat has
A Principles of Synthetic Aperture Radar
topex.ucsd.eduilluminate the earth over a large elliptical footprint. The reflected energy returns to the radar where it is recorded as a function of fast time in the range direction and slow time, or echo number, in the azimuth direction. 33

topex.ucsd.edue is the value of gravity on the equator and m is approximately equal to the ratio of centrifugal force at the equator to the gravitational acceleration at the equator. In practice, geodesists get together at meetings of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and agree on such things as the parameters of WGS84.
