The practical use of space-borne information, its processing and interpretation needs atmospheric correction of aerospace images and spectra. With this book the authors offer a review of this young technique and present their results from 20 years work. The atmospheric modulation transfer function is elucidated from the first theoretical investigations to practical aspects of the atmospheric correction of space imagery. The problems are analysed by modelling the main important parameters, e.g. the atmospheric aerosol, ...

The practical use of space-borne information, its processing and interpretation needs atmospheric correction of aerospace images and spectra. With this book the authors offer a review of this young technique and present their results from 20 years work. The atmospheric modulation transfer function is elucidated from the first theoretical investigations to practical aspects of the atmospheric correction of space imagery. The problems are analysed by modelling the main important parameters, e.g. the atmospheric aerosol, radiative transfer in the Earth's surface - atmosphere systems, interaction of short - and longways components of the radiation budget with the atmosphere and the Earth's surface.
