Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

Meteorological remote sensing is primarily directed towards making observations of the atmospheric profile-the column of air above the ground which varies in temperature, pressure, and composition.

CONT

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has extensive capabilities for in situ and remote sensing of meteorological variables.

OBS

Remote sensing may be defined as the acquisition of information about an object or event on the basis of measurements taken at some distance from it. In practice the term is normally used to describe the collection and analysis of data made by instruments carried in or above the earth’s atmosphere.
