This introductory remote sensing course covers different environments where remote sensing can be applied, including discussion about a variety of space platforms and selected sensors that orbit the Earth. Emphasis is placed on the application of remote sensing on the interactions between the hydrosphere, biosphere, geosphere and atmosphere as well as bio-productivity and geophysical\/geochemical processes in the oceans. By the end of this Class you should be able to (1) Understand the principles of EM wave and interactions with surface\/atmosphere that are relevant to remote sensing (e.g., surface scattering vs particle scattering), (2) Describe various types of remote sensing systems (e.g., photographic, electrooptical, passive microwave, etc.), (3) Understand the fundamental principles for different types of remote sensing systems, (4)\u00a0 Understand resolutions and viewing geometry of different remote sensing systems, (5) Describe different satellite orbits that are used for Earth Observations<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
