DOWNLOAD EBOOKSealing up in Hydrology using Remote Sensing Edited by J. B. Stewart Institute of Hydrology, UK E. T. Engman NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA R. A. Feddes Wageningen Agricultural University, The Netherlands Y. Kerr Centre d’Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphere, France The most pressing modern environmental problems are considered to affect the entire globe. For example, climate change, deforestation and desertification are all happening on such a large scale that they may affect the sustainability of man’s future. What is needed to address this question quantitatively are more reliable data on large scale land use and land-use change, and their impacts on water resources and climate. The catch is that we are never going to be able to measure directly key hydrological and meteorological variables at enough points on the ground to give adequate description of the large areas (regions and continents) for which information is required. The only way to get this is via large scale modelling and the development of remote sensing techniques. This book brings together the presentations made at a recent workshop by experts, who met to consider the problems of scaling up from local to global spatial scales and from the instantaneous satellite measurements to daily or longer time scales. The authors’ collective views represent the state of the art of their science as seen by an active international remote sensing community, and ground and planetary-based measurement scientists and modellers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book provides comprehensive information on possible applications of remote sensing data for hydrological monitoring and modelling as well as for water management decisions. Mathematical theory is provided only as far as it is necessary for understanding the underlying principles. The book is especially timely because of new programs and sensors that are or will be realised. ESA, NASA, NASDA as well as the Indian and the Brazilian Space Agency have recently launched satellites or developed plans for new sensor systems that will be especially pertinent to hydrology and water management. New techniques are presented whose structure differ from conventional hydrological models due to the nature of remotely sensed data.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWater resources are the most valuable resources of sustainable socio-economic development, which is significantly affected by climate change and human activities. Water resources assessment is an urgent need for implementation of the perfect water resources management, but it is difficult to accurately evaluate the quantity and quality of water resources, especially in arid regions and high-altitude regions with sparse gauged data. This book hosts 24 papers devoted to remote sensing in hydrology and water resources management, which summarizes the recent advancement in remote sensing technology for hydrology analysis such as satellite remote sensing for water resources management, water quality monitoring and evaluation using remote sensing data, remote sensing for detecting the global impact of climate extremes, the use of remote sensing data for improved calibration of hydrological models, and so on. In general, the book will contribute to promote the application of remote sensing technology in water resources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe recent emergence and widespread use of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) has prompted new interest in scale as a key component of these and other geographic information technologies. With a balanced mixture of concepts, practical examples, techniques, and theory, Scale in Remote Sensing and GIS is a guide for students and users of remote sensing and GIS who must deal with the issues raised by multiple temporal and spatial scales. Sixteen pages of full-color photographs help demonstrate key points made in the text.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRemote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle is an outcome of the AGU Chapman Conference held in February 2012. This is a comprehensive volume that examines the use of available remote sensing satellite data as well as data from future missions that can be used to expand our knowledge in quantifying the spatial and temporal variations in the terrestrial water cycle. Volume highlights include: - An in-depth discussion of the global water cycle - Approaches to various problems in climate, weather, hydrology, and agriculture - Applications of satellite remote sensing in measuring precipitation, surface water, snow, soil moisture, groundwater, modeling, and data assimilation - A description of the use of satellite data for accurately estimating and monitoring the components of the hydrological cycle - Discussion of the measurement of multiple geophysical variables and properties over different landscapes on a temporal and a regional scale Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle is a valuable resource for students and research professionals in the hydrology, ecology, atmospheric sciences, geography, and geological sciences communities.
