Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

It is intended that students acquire basic skills in remote sensing applied to the observation and characterization of the atmosphere, that they know how to distinguish active from passive systems and that they have notions of the different types of instrumentation and the observed/measured parameters.

Contents

General physical principles of remote sensing;
Remote sensing in passive and active systems;
Passive and active remote sensing instrumentation (e.g. photometer, MWR, RADAR, LIDAR);
Satellites and sensors;
Basic visualization and interpretation of remote sensing data.

Teaching Methods

Theoretical and theoretical-practical classes will be given using powerpoint presentations and problem demonstration/solving. Theoretical resources will be made available in the Moodle of the course, where reading suggestions will also be made.

Assessment

A test on the content covered in classes and a work in which students must apply the skills acquired.
