Provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary discussion of the applications of satellite sensing. This volume contains information about the applications of satellite remote sensing in polar related disciplines, including glaciology, meteorology, climate and radiation balance and oceanography. It summarizes fundamental principles of detectors.

The most consistent signatures of climate warming have occurred at northern high latitudes (IPCC, 2001), and the potential impacts of a few degrees increase in surface temperature include a reduction in sea ice extent, a positive feedback to climate warming due to lowering of surface albedo, and changes to surface runo?
