"Written for students and professionals, this reference explores the various types of solar radiation measurements and how they operate. The book gives the reader a step-by-step approach to the set-up, operation, and maintenance of a solar monitoring station. The book provides t…
The book describes different approaches to the analysis of heat and dynamic processes in the ocean-atmospheric interface with satellite passive radiometric observations at microwaves. It examines the feasibility of determining synoptic, seasonal and year-to-year variations of se…
Radiometry is an essential part of the optical design of virtually every optical instrument, and key to many applications. It is also used to measure the radiation of various objects. This tutorial examines both the techniques of calculating radiative transfer and the measuremen…
Introduction to Sensors for ranging and imaging
"This comprehensive text-reference provides a solid background in active sensing technology. It is concerned with active sensing, starting with the basics of time-of-flight sensors (operational principles, components), and going through the derivation of the radar range equation…
"A practical guide to optical system design and development. Optical systems engineering emphasizes first-order, system-level estimates of optical performance. Building on the basic principles of optical design and engineering, the book uses numerous practical examples to illust…
