Multiscale Hydrologic Remote Sensing: Perspectives and Applications

Reflecting the current focus of hydrological sciences today, this book discusses interdisciplinary issues of water resources research and remote sensing technology. It presents an exquisite arrangement of sensors, platforms, and problem-oriented features and includes all components of the hydrologic cycle such as precipitation, soil moisture, evaporation, transpiration, lake and reservoir levels, terrestrial water storage, river discharge, and snow pack. Featuring a multi-scale approach, it addresses future concerns of hydrological remote sensing under global change, including population growth, economic development and urbanization, and environmental degradation.
