This updated and larger Third Edition of Satellite Meteorology showcases the impressive technological advances that have taken place in this field in recent years and the achievements of major satellite missions. It highlights how the assimilation of satellite radiances and data into the global numerical models has resulted in the increased accuracy of weather forecasts. The current trend is towards integrated remote sensing and the use of constellations of small satellites. The age of Al has already dawned and future satellites are expected to be capable of processing data on board. With Al, satellites which now serve as observing platforms will soon begin functioning instead as intelligent systems. The book describes these exciting developments that are set to revolutionize satellite meteorology in the foreseeable future.

The book focuses on:

- Fundamental principles of meteorological remote sensing

- Satellite image interpretation techniques

- Estimation of atmospheric, oceanic and land parameters from satellite data

- Measurement of parameters by active sensors

- Major satellite missions accomplished so far

- Current global configuration of operational satellites

- Satellite monitoring of climate change

- New dimensions in satellite remote sensing
