Comment on this resource
Earth from Above provides an easy introduction to understanding and interpreting satellite images. Beginning with two short chapters on visible satellite images and radiation, the book then covers six key Earth-atmosphere variables on topics including the Antarctic ozone hole, El Nino, deforestation, the missing carbon dilemma, and the effects of sea ice, snow cover and volcanoes on atmospheric temperatures. A final chapter broadens the discussion to consider satellite Earth observations in general. Each section concludes with a list of questions; answers are provided at the back of the book.
