Summary

"A unique multi-disciplinary integration of the physics of turbulence and remote sensing technology. This book provides a new vision on the research of turbulence and summarizes current and future challenges of monitoring turbulence remotely. It emphasizes sophisticated geophysical applications, detection, and recognition of complex turbulent flows in ocean and atmosphere. Through several techniques based on microwave and optical/IR observations, the book explores technological capabilities and data analysis tools for turbulence events, their signatures, and variability. A great resource for applied physicists, the professional remote sensing community, ecologists, geophysicists, and Earth scientists. Features: Covers the fundamental aspects of turbulence problem with broad geophysical scope for a wide audience of readers Provides a complete description of remote sensing capabilities for observing turbulence in the Earth's environment Establishes the state-of-the-art remote sensing techniques and methods of data analysis for turbulence detection Investigates and evaluates turbulence detection signatures, their properties, and variability Provides cutting edge remote sensing applications for space-based monitoring and forecasts of turbulence in ocean and atmosphere"--
