Publisher's Synopsis
Interest in satellite remote sensing is fast moving away from pure science and individual case studies towards truly operational applications. At the same time the micro-computer revolution is ensuring that data reception and processing facilities need no longer be the preserve of a small number of global centres, but can be commonplace installations in smaller countries and even local regional agency offices or laboratories.;As remote sensing matures, and its applications proliferate, a new type of treatment is required to ensure both that decision makers, managers and engineers with problems to solve are informed of today's opportunities, and that scientists are provided with integrated overviews of the ever growing need for their services.;This book, written by a group of specialists, addresses these needs by focusing on the area bounded by satellite remote sensing, pure and applied hydrological sciences, and a specific world region, namely the Mediterranean basin.
