These include transmission of intelligence, and radar and radiometric applications used to probe the atmosphere, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere most books address either one or the other, \u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Propagation and Remote Sensing: Atmospheric Influences with Models and Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e melds coverage of these two subjects to help readers develop solutions to the problems they present. This reference offers a brief, elementary account of microwave propagation through the atmosphere and discusses radiometric applications in the microwave band used to characterize and model atmospheric constituents, which is also known as remote sensing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummarizing the latest research results in the field, as well as radiometric models and measurement methods, this book covers topics including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree space propagation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eReflection, interference, polarization, and other key aspects of electromagnetic wave propagation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eRadio refraction and its effects on propagation delay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMethodology of estimating water vapor attenuation using radiosonde data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnowledge of rain structures and use of climatological patterns to estimate\/measure attenuation of rain, snow, fog, and other prevalent atmospheric particles and human-made substances\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual\/multifrequency methodology to deal with the influence of clouds on radiometric attenuation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeployment of microwaves to ascertain various tropospheric conditions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eComposition and characteristics of the troposphere, to help readers fully understand microwave propagation \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDerived parameters of water, free space propagation, and conditions and variable constituents such as water vapor and vapor pressure, density, and ray bending\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pranab Kumar Karmakar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439848998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439848999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Pranab Kumar Karmakar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088273748223,"sku":"9781439848999","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8cb6888-a615-4172-a4f5-32226effec23.jpg?v=1769103995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/microwave-propagation-and-remote-sensing-pranab-kumar-karmakar-9781439848999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
