Application of Satellite Remote Sensing on Air Quality and Climate Studies
Project Description
Satellite remote sensing technique measures geophysical parameters from the electromagnetic energy emitted or reflected from the earth, and can be used to estimate earth surface characteristics, atmospheric compositions and profiles, and meteorological processes. This project will provide a opportunity to understand the remote sensing process, satellite data products, and their applications in atmosphere, land, and ocean.
