This comprehensive book offers a thorough introduction to the physical principles underlying satellite remote sensing of clouds and precipitation. It encompasses a diverse range of satellite sensors, including imagers, radars, and sounders, operating across a broad spectral range, from visible to microwave radiation. Over the past two decades, remarkable advancements in satellite instrument technology have been witnessed, exemplified by notable missions such as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), CloudSat, and Global Measurement Mission (GPM) satellites. These remarkable achievements have significantly enhanced our ability to measure clouds and precipitation on a global scale. However, the rapid pace of progress poses a challenge for scientists without specialized skills in remote sensing to fully comprehend the intricacies of satellite measurements. To address this challenge, this book has been meticulously crafted. Its primary audience consists of graduate students and professional scientists seeking an in-depth summary of the theoretical foundations behind observations from space, encompassing a broad spectrum of topics, from fundamental physics, including statistical mechanics and radiative processes, to more practical realms of theory, such as retrieval algorithm design. By delving into these subjects, the book aims to provide a solid foundation for those seeking to understand and apply satellite remote sensing in their research and practical applications.
