Recent advances in civil space remote sensing; Proceedings of the meeting, Arlington, VA, May 3, 4, 1984
Attention is given to sensing in the areas of land observation, meteorology, oceanography, and agriculture and hydrology. Among the specific topics addressed are: the multispectral linear array; optical-system design for next-generation pushbroom sensors; satellite remote sensing for aluminum and nickel laterites; the use of CSIS in severe weather prediction; review of experiments on the impact of satellite data on numerical weather prediction; and WINDSAT, a concept of global wind measurement by IF Doppler lidar. Also considered are: a GPS-based tracking system for TOPEX orbit determination; the low-frequency microwave radiometer for N-ROSS; an integrated approach to global crop monitoring, the microwave remote sensing of soil moisture; and the estimation of moisture conditions from AVHRR data.
