Satellite-Borne 'Non-DoD Sensors' for Terrestrial Observations.

Abstract

This is a summary review that was made of satellite-borne 'non-DoD sensors' used for terrestrial observations. The term non-DoD sensors refers to 'civil' (as contrasted with 'military') remote sensing systems. The civil satellite-borne sensing systems were developed for the most part by NASA and are employed operationally by NOAA/NESS. (Author)
