These span Earth and planetary ocean, atmosphere, and solid Earth geophysics such as topographic mapping and surface deformation and change. The author derives all relations from original physical principles, making the material applicable beyond radar to any Earth observation system.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive treatment of fundamental radar developments showing how each affects system performance across diverse environmental and planetary applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental remote sensing techniques, for example tracking wave height and direction, atmospheric pollutants, and solid Earth geophysical phenomena\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhysical derivations from first principles enabling application of concepts to new observational systems beyond traditional radar configurations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage of the expanding international radar satellite constellation including the recently launched NASA NISAR mission and emerging applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWell-tested homework problems and solutions refined through twenty-five years of graduate-level instruction at Stanford University\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned for graduate and senior undergraduate students in engineering programs, this book serves as the primary text for introductory remote sensing courses.
