ISBN: 9781439835579 - remote sensing of drought: innovative monitoring approaches (15 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- An edited collection on satellite remote sensing for drought monitoring and early warning, edited by Brian D. Wardlow, Martha C. Anderson, and James P. Verdin. The editors' preface notes that the book gathers a representative selection of leading techniques, either already in operation or close to it, and does not try to list every method. An opening chapter gives the history and current practice of drought monitoring. Later chapters cover the AVHRR NDVI record and vegetation condition, the Vegetation Drought Response Index (VegDRI), evapotranspiration measured through water and energy balance, a thermal-based Evaporative Stress Index, satellite gravimetry for groundwater, and snow cover monitoring. A closing chapter looks at future opportunities and challenges in the field.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Remote Sensing of Drought: Innovative Monitoring Approaches presents emerging remote sensing-based tools and techniques that can be applied to operational drought monitoring and early warning around the world. The first book to focus on remote sensing and drought monitoring, it brings together a wealth of information that has been scattered throughout the literature and across many disciplines. Featuring contributions by leading scientists, it assembles a cross-section of globally applicable techniques that are currently operational or have potential to be operational in the near future.The book explores a range of applications for monitoring four critical components of the hydrological cycle related to drought: vegetation health, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and groundwater, and precipitation. These applications use remotely sensed optical, thermal, microwave, radar, and gravity data from instruments such as AMSR-E, GOES, GRACE, MERIS, MODIS, and Landsat and implement several advanced modeling and data assimilation techniques. Examples show how to integrate this information into routine drought products. The book also examines the role of satellite remote sensing within traditional drought monitoring, as well as current challenges and future prospects.Improving drought monitoring is becoming increasingly important in addressing a wide range of societal issues, from food security and water scarcity to human health, ecosystem services, and energy production. This unique book surveys innovative remote sensing approaches to provide you with new perspectives on large-area drought monitoring and early warning.…
