This book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the 6th Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment, focusing on the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere and presenting an overview of new technologies and plans for future missions. > \nThis book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the 6 Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment held in Florence, Italy on March 15-18, 1999. \n\nOver the last two decades, passive microwave remote sensing has made considerable progress, and has achieved significant results in the study of the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Many years of observations with ground-based and satellite-borne sensors have made an important contribution to improving our knowledge of many geophysical processes of the Earth's environment and of global changes. The evolution in microwave radiometers aboard satellites has increased steadily over recent yearss
