Abstract

We have seen in the preceding chapters the physical principles of satellite remote sensing in terms principally of the radiative transfer theory. Cloud properties impact on visible and infrared radiances, and precipitation modulates microwave brightness temperature. Satellite retrieval algorithms involve a “reverse engineering” of the radiative transfer theory so that the cloud and precipitation properties are traced back from radiance and brightness temperature. This chapter provides a brief overview of theoretical guidance for deciphering the satellite-received electromagnetic signals to identify and reconstruct the observed geophysical parameters.
