ATP3263 Principles and Applications of Remote Sensing in Meteorology

The aim of this module is to introduce students with good physics and mathematics background   on relevant remote sensing techniques, applied in Meteorology, for inverse problem solving. It mainly focuses on understanding the atmosphere through remote sensing by microwave and optical (uv/visible)-infrared sensors, familiarization with using satellite remote sensing for monitoring global environment, data assimilation, and popular atmospheric remote sensing software. Having successfully completed this module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

-          The atmospheric remote sensing by microwave and optical (uv/visible)-infrared sensors;

-          Models and inversion methods for meteorological problem solving under remote sensing principles;

-          Data assimilation, mapping and atmospheric remote sensing programs;

-          Satellite remote sensing for monitoring global environment;

-          Problem development and solving in relation of atmosphere;

-          Dissemination and transfer of knowledge related to Principles of Applications of Remote Sensing in Meteorology;

-          And enhance their knowledge transfer skills through regular oral presentations.
