H. Rott, Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, "This is an excellent text for remote sensing...a handy source of brief definitions of terms and concepts commonly encountered in the field of remote sensing." California Geology, ‘… a valuable addition to existing remote sensing textbooks.’H. Rott, Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, "The noble intent of this book is not only to document and provide information on all of the remote sensing acronyms (nonmilitary), but to provide reference data associated with remote sensing that are often disparately located....The information provided on a specific topic is quite detailed and developed with the needs of the remote sensing specialist in mind...[a] well-devised, well-written book."

SynopsisThe Remote Sensing Data Book provides a unique resource of all aspects of remote sensing for the expert and non-expert alike. Organised as a dictionary, it contains over 700 alphabetically-arranged and cross-referenced entries on how remote sensing works, what kinds of data are available, and the large number of satellites and instruments from which the information is obtained. As well as short technical definitions, it also includes longer essays and reviews to give an overview of the subject. Although not a textbook in itself, the data book will serve as a valuable addition to existing textbooks for undergraduates and graduate students on geography, environmental and earth science courses that include an element of remote sensing. It will also be an essential reference for researchers and research managers at all levels using spaceborne remote sensing methods to obtain information about the earth's land, sea, ice and atmosphere., Remote sensing is used in some way by all earth and atmospheric scientists.
