Land Surface Monitoring Based on Satellite Imagery - Hardcoverby Sara Venafra (Editor), Carmine Serio (Editor), Guido Masiello (Editor) This book focuses attention on significant novel approaches developed to monitor land surface by exploiting satellite data in the infrared and visible ranges. Unlike in situ measurements, satellite data provide global coverage and higher temporal resolution, with very accurate retrievals of land parameters. This is fundamental in the study of climate change and global warming.
