Preface to the first edition
As the technology of remote sensing has advanced over the last two decades, the scientific potential of the data that it produces has greatly improved. To better serve society’s needs, the immense amounts of aggregated satellite data need to be transferred into high-level products in order to improve the predictive capabilities of global and regional models at different scales and to aid in decision making through various decision support systems. A general trend is that the data centers are distributing more high-level products rather than simply the raw satellite imagery.
An increasing number of researchers from a diverse set of academic and scientific disciplines are now routinely using remotely sensed data ...
