Rapid developments of spatial information technology and the integration of Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), known as 3S technology, have been extensively utilized in managing and monitoring natural disasters. This book illustrates the 3S integrated applications in the field of Meteorology and promotes the role of 3S in developing a precise and intelligent Meteorology. It discusses the principles of 3S technology, and the methods for estimating different meteorological disasters and hazards monitoring as well as their application progress. The case studies from USA, Japan, China, and Europe can be used to help all countries understand the 3S technology functions in handling and monitoring severe drought and flood hazards.
Features
- Presents integral observations from GNSS, GIS, and Remote Sensing in estimating and understanding meteorological changes
- Explains how to monitor and retrieve atmospheric parameters changes using GNSS and Remote Sensing
- Shows 3D modelling and evaluations of meteorological variation processing from GIS
- Helps meteorologists develop and use space-air-ground observations for meteorological applications
- Features case studies that illustrate the best practices in monitoring metrological hazards and utilizes space information techniques
This book is intended for university academics, researchers, and postgraduate students who specialize in Geomatics, Atmospheric Science and Meteorology, as well as scientists who work in remote sensing and professionals who deal with meteorological hazards.
