CEOS EO HANDBOOK � MEASUREMENTS
|
|
Earth observation satellites provide important data about the Earth and
its environment, helping develop our understanding of the basic Earth
System and human influences on it. These data cover measurements of a
very wide range of geophysical parameters, spanning the whole spectrum
of the environment �
atmosphere, land, oceans, ice
and snow.
You can read more about these measurements in the Earth Observation Handbook
 .
The CEOS Missions, Instruments, and Measurements database contains
information on many key measurements of interest to the main user groups
of Earth observation satellite data.
The table below includes links to further information on broader
measurement categories (left), more detailed measurements (centre), and
measurement timelines (right).
