This book investigates the application of remote sensing techniques to the fields of meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology. It draws upon the expertise of A. P. Cracknell to explore how data gathered from a distance can be utilized to understand and monitor atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial water systems. The work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles and practical uses of remote sensing in these interconnected scientific disciplines.

The book is likely to be regarded as a foundational text for researchers and students in atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrological sciences who are interested in remote sensing applications. Its focus on the interdisciplinary nature of these fields suggests a comprehensive approach to the subject matter. The technical detail expected from a work of this nature would appeal to a specialized audience seeking in-depth knowledge.
