Abstract:

This is a summary review that was made of satellite-borne non-DoD sensors used for terrestrial observations. The term non-DoD sensors refers to civil as contrasted with military remote sensing systems. The civil satellite-borne sensing systems were developed for the most part by NASA and are employed operationally by NOAANESS. Author
