The course includes lectures covering issues related to Remote Sensing concepts, principles, methodologies, and applications, like remote sensing of soil moisture and ocean salinity, sea surface temperature, ocean colour, NDVI; surface energy balance and assimilation of remote sensing data and products in numerical models.
