Remote sensing from space; Proceedings of Symposium 3, Workshop V, and Topical Meeting A2 of the Twenty-sixth COSPAR Plenary Meeting, Toulouse, France, June 30-July 11, 1986Various papers on remote sensing from space are presented. The use of such remote sensing to study terrestrial patterns and processes is examined, including the relevant processes and theories, observed vegetation and surface climate parameters, derived terrestrial processes, atmospheric effects, and new sensors. Quantitative radar remote sensing of land and oceanic surface features is addressed, including systems, calibration, simulation, data evaluation for vegetational studies, altimetry, sea ice monitoring, and oil slick detection. The use of satellite observations for weather prediction is discussed.
