Publisher's Synopsis
Atmospheric dust is a significant cause of errors in satellite imaging observations and this book will be of use to specialists in this area. Similarly the occurrence of dust storms also has a bearing on military operations, both from the planning point of view and from the effects that military operations themselves can have in causing this phenomena.;This reference work provides a digest of the wide and disparate sources of information on sand and dust storms, and examines two projects undertaken at Bradford University: one on the effect of dust storms on microwave communications and the other on the remote sensing of dust storms.
