This monograph provides a review of polarimetric radar techniques for remote sensing. The first four chapters cover the basics of mathematical, statistical modelling as well as physical modelling based on radiowave scattering theory. The subsequent eight chapters summarize applications of polarimetric radar monitoring for various types of earth environments, including vegetation and oceans. The last two chapters provide a summary of Western as well as former Soviet Union knowledge and the outlook. This monograph is of value to students, scientists and engineers involved in remote sensing development and applications in particular for environmental monitoring. 410 0$aRemote Sensing and Digital Image Processing,$x2215-1842 ;$v3 606 $aGeographic information systems 606 $aAtmospheric science 606 $aOceanography 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aGeographical Information System 606 $aAtmospheric Science 606 $aOcean Sciences 606 $aGeophysics 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 615 0$aAtmospheric science. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 14$aGeographical Information System. 615 24$aAtmospheric Science. 615 24$aOcean Sciences. 615 24$aGeophysics. 676 $a550/.028/7 700 $aKozlov$b A.
