.Since the launch of the first of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRRs) in 1978, the data from these instruments has used for a wide range of non-meteorological applications. In this book, the author describes satellite system, AVHRRs, control of the spacecraft, and data- recovery arrangements. The book covers processing of the data to extract useful environmental information. The applications of the data to marine problems, based primarily on the study of sea-surface temperatures from the thermal-infrared channels of the instrument, are considered, as well as the study of vegetation and a whole variety of other land-based and hydrological applications.The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer AVHRR 1st Edition is written by Arthur P. Cracknell and published by CRC Press. ISBNs for The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer AVHRR are 9781040290071, 1040290078 and the print ISBNs are 9780748402090, 0748402098.
