Satellite Remote Sensing in Climatology

---

Adopts a thematic approach to explaining contemporary concepts in the large overlap area between weather and climate processes and satellite remote sensing. A key emphasis involves the contribution of satellite data to the development of climate theory, in particular, the role of clouds in climate; climatic teleconnections and surface -atmosphere interactions; and large-scale features of the General Circulation such as vortices and cloud bands. Also emphasized is the importance of satellite information to the development of baseline regimes of climatically- significant variables, and the monitoring of departures from those regimes as evidence of climatic anomalies and trends. Topics associated with those changes, include the El Niiro Southern Oscillation ( MO) phenomenon; polar sea ice variations; and global warming. A related theme that is emphasized involves the satellite monitoring of possible human impacts on the climate system through stratospheric ozone depletion, deforestation, desertification, and cloud cover augmentation.
