Description
Optical instruments are routinely employed to obtain a wealth of information about the atmosphere, including its composition, temperature,
and winds. A bewildering variety of optical instruments have been proposed over the years, making it difficult to decide which instrument
should be chosen to make a specific measurement. Spectral Imaging of the Atmosphere traces the historical development
of both spectral and imaging methods and places them in a unified framework relevant to observations of the troposphere, stratosphere,
mesosphere and thermosphere. The underlying concepts of various measurement methodologies are presented and paired with appropriate applications.
A selection of specific spectral imaging instruments, appropriate to illustrate each conceptual type, is described in detail.
Shepherd's
work provides both scientists and engineers with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts they need to know in order to
plan a program of atmospheric measurements. Expected future methods and developments are also presented. Problems designed to test and
enhance the reader's understanding of the material are included in each chapter.
Audience
Graduate students through senior researchers in electron optics and meteorological sciences. Especially those working with imaging and satellite data analysis.
