遥感研究生证书

遥感（基于卫星和地面）越来越多地被用作探测地球大气，海洋和陆地表面的技术。其他行星的探测主要通过卫星遥感完成。考虑到国家在气候和全球变化等领域的优先事项，对遥感的兴趣只会随着时间而增加。研究生，研究人员和教职员工涉及从遥感理论到其应用的广泛主题。这些应用包括：利用卫星遥感确定海洋表面温度和热通量；利用地面雷达改进对卫星云和降水的确定；确定卫星的表面生物学特性和生产力；对卫星进行土地利用制图；绘制地表地形和地形特征，搜索掩埋文物的位置，使用地雷达确定高层大气的风向运动以及使用飞机遥感技术来评估卫星检索算法的
Remote sensing (satellite and ground-based) is increasingly being used as a technique to probe the Earth's atmosphere, ocean and land surfaces. Probing of other planets is accomplished largely by satellite remote sensing. Given national priorities in such areas as climate and global change, the interest in remote sensing will only increase with time. Graduate students, research staff, and faculty work on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the theory of remote sensing, to its application. These applications include: use of satellite remote sensing to determine ocean surface temperature and heat fluxes, use of surface radar to improve the determination of clouds and precipitation from satellite, determination of surface biological characteristics and productivity from satellite, mapping of land use from satellite, mapping of surface landform and topographical features, searching for locations of buried artifacts, use of surface radar to determine upper atmosphere wind motions, and aircraft remote sensing to assess the validity of satellite retrieval algorithms of surface and atmospheric characteristics.
