這些波是由億萬個振動的電子、原子、分子發(fā)出的，它們以獨特的波長組合發(fā)出和吸收電磁輻射。114Theamountofelectromagneticradiationanobjectemitsdependsprimarilyonitstemperature.Thehigherthetemperatureofanobject,thefasteritselectronsvibrateandtheshorteritspeakwavelengthofemittedradiation.125ElectromagneticspectrumThefundamentalunitofelectromagneticphenomenaisthephoton,thesmallestpossibleamountofelectromagneticenergyofaparticularwavelength.Photons,whicharewithoutmass,moveatthespeedoflight–300,000km/secintheformofwavesanalogoustothewaywavespropagatethroughtheoceans.獨個光子能以波的形式運動，速度可達光速300,000km/sec，就像波浪在海洋中傳播一樣。135Theenergyofaphotondeterminesthefrequencyoflight.Thegreatertheenergyofthephoton,thegreaterthefrequencyoflight,andviceversa146TheentirearrayofelectromagneticwavescomprisestheEMspectrum.Thewavesarecalledelectromagneticbecausetheyconsistofcombinedelectricandmagneticwavesthatresultwhenachargedparticle(electron)accelerates.TheEMspectrumisdividedintoregionswithdescriptivenames.156Atthehighfrequencyendaregammaraysandx-rays.Radiationintheultravioletregionextendsfromabout1nanometertoabout0.36micrometers.Itisconvenienttomeasurethemid-regionsofthespectruminthesetwounits:micrometers(mm),aunitoflengthequivalenttoone-millionthofameter,ornanometers(nm),aunitoflengthequivalenttoone-billionthofameter.166Thevisibleregionoccupiestherangebetween0.4and0.7mm.Theinfrared(IR)regionspansbetween0.7and100mm.Atshorterwavelengths(near0.7mm)infraredradiationcanbedetectedbyspecialfilm,whileatlongerwavelengthsitisfeltasheat.177Longerwavelengthintervalsaremeasuredinunitsrangingfrommillimeters(mm)throughmeters(m).Themicrowaveregionspreadsacross1mmto1m;thisincludesalloftheintervalsusedbyradarsystems,whichgeneratetheirownactiveradiationdirectedtowardsandreflectedfromtargetsofinterest.Thelowestfrequencyregion–beyond1m–isassociatedwithradiowaves.雷達系統(tǒng)自己主動產生輻射，發(fā)射到感興趣目標并從感興趣目標反射回來。188AbsorptionbandsandatmosphericwindowsSometypesofelectromagneticradiationeasilypassthroughtheatmosphere,whileothersdonot.Theabilityoftheatmospheretoallowradiationtopassthroughvarieswiththewavelength/typeoftheradiation.Thegasesthatcompriseouratmosphereabsorbradiationincertainwavelengthswhileallowingradiationwithdifferingwavelengthstopassthrough.199TheareasoftheEMspectrumthatareabsorbedbyatmosphericgasessuchaswatervapor,carbondioxide,andozoneareknownasabsorptionbands.Absorptionbandshavealowtransmissionvalueassociatedwithaspecificrangeofwavelengths.能夠被水蒸汽，二氧化碳和臭氧等大氣層氣體吸收的電磁波譜區(qū)域稱為吸收帶。2010Incontrasttotheabsorptionbands,thereareareasoftheelectromagneticspectrumwheretheatmosphereistransparenttospecificwavelengths.Thesewavelengthbandsareknownasatmospheric“windows”sincetheyallowtheradiationtoeasilypassthroughtheatmospheretoEarth’ssurface.2111Mostremotesensinginstrumentsonaircraftorspace-basedplatformsoperateinoneormoreofthesewindowsbymakingtheirmeasurementswithdetectorstunedtospecificfrequencies(wavelengths)thatpassthroughtheatmosphere.3大多數(shù)裝在飛機或太空平臺上的遙感儀器工作在一個或多個這樣的“窗口”范圍里，這是通過將其檢測裝置調諧在能穿透大氣層的特定頻率（波長）上而實現(xiàn)的。2211Whenaremotesensinginstrumenthasaline-of-sightwithanobjectthatisreflectingsunlightoremittingheat,theinstrumentcollectsandrecordstheradiantenergy.Whilemostremotesensingsystemsaredesignedtocollectreflectedradiation,somesensors,especiallythoseonmeteorologicalsatellites,directlymeasureabsorptionphenomena.2311TheatmosphereisnearlyopaquetoEMradiationinpartofthemid-IRandallofthefar-IRregions.Inthemicrowaveregion,bycontrast,mostofthisradiationmovesthroughunimpeded,soradarwavesreachthesurface.2412Pixels,bits,andcolorUsingradiowaves,datafromEarth-orbitingsatellitesaretransmittedonaregularbasistoproperlyequippedgroundstations.Asthedataarereceivedtheyaretranslatedintoadigitalimagethatcanbedisplayedonacomputerscreen.Satelliteimageryismadeupoftinysquares,eachofadifferentgrayshadeorcolor.Thesesquaresarecalledpixelsandrepresenttherelativereflectedlightenergyrecordedforthatpartoftheimage.2513Eachpixelrepresentsasquareareaonanimagethatisameasureofthesensor’sabilitytoresolveobjectsofdifferentsizes.Forexample,theEnhancedThematicMapperontheLandsat7satellitehasamaximumresolutionof15meters;therefore,eachpixelrepresentsanarea15m

這些頻帶經常具有高分辨率，是為特定參數(shù)的遙感而設計的，如海面溫度、云地特性、植被、大氣層的微量化學成分等。3623Activeinstrumentsprovidetheirownenergy(EMradiation)toilluminatetheobjectorscenetheyobserve.6主動儀器提供自己的能量（電磁輻射）來照射要觀察的對象或場景。3723Theysendapulseofenergyfromthesensortotheobjectandthenreceivetheradiationthatisreflectedorbackscatteredfromthatobject.Scientistsusemanydifferenttypesofactiveremotesensors.38241.Radar(RadioDetectionandRanging):Radarusesatransmitteroperatingateitherradioormicrowavefrequenciestoemitelectromagneticradiationandadirectionalantennaorreceivertomeasurethetimeofarrivalofreflectedorbackscattredpulsesofradiationfromdistantobjects.7Distancetotheobjectcanbedeterminedsinceelectromagneticradiationpropagatesatthespeedoflight.雷達用一個工作在射頻或微波頻率的發(fā)射機來發(fā)出電磁輻射，用一個方向性天線或接收器來測量從遠處目標反射或反向散射回來的輻射脈沖的到達時間。39252.Scatterometer:Ascatterometerisahighfrequencymicrowaveradardesignedspecificallytomeasurebackscatteredradiation.Overoceansurfaces,measurementsofbackscatteredradiationinthemicrowavespectralregioncanbeusedtoderivemapsofsurfacewindspeedanddirection.40263.Lidar(LightDetectionandRanging):Alidarusesalasertotransmitalightpulseandareceiverwithsensitivedetectorstomeasurethebackscatteredorreflectedlight.Distancetotheobjectisdeterminedbyrecordingthetimebetweenthetransmittedandbackscatteredpulsesandusingthespeedoflighttocalculatethedistancetraveled.Lidarscandetermineatmosphericprofilesofaerosols,clouds,andotherconstituentsoftheatmosphere.41274.LaserAltimeter:Alaseraltimeterusesalidartomeasuretheheightoftheinstrumentplatformabovethesurface.ByindependentlyknowingtheheightoftheplatformwithrespecttothemeanEarth’ssurface,thetopographyoftheunderlyingsurfacecanbedetermined.42PartIIUsingRemoteSensingtoMonitorGlobalChange43NewWordsinduce感應，遭致wetland濕地hydrologic水文的regime政權，體制，情態(tài)marsh沼澤，濕地swamp沼澤，進退兩難之地mangrove紅樹fringe加邊，加飾邊nutrient營養(yǎng)habitat棲息地fur-bearinganimal毛皮動物buffer緩沖erosion腐蝕，侵蝕canal運河，溝渠diversion轉移sediment沉淀物，沉積levee大堤compound復合eustatic

它們對沿海休閑也是重要的，并且能保持水質，成為防止海岸侵蝕的屏障。473IntheUnitedStates,widespreadwetlandlosshasresultedfromthefillingofmarshlands,constructionofcanalsandwaterways,anddiversionofriversedimentsoffshore.2在美國，濕地萎縮是由沼澤的填充，開挖水渠、河道，河流淤泥向海面轉移造成的。483Soilconservationpracticesandflood-controlstructuressuchasdamsandleveesarepreventingsedimentsfromreachingwetlands.Furthercompoundingthesehuman-inducedstresses,theeustaticsea-levelrisehasseriousimplicationsforcoastalwetlands.Predominantly,thesealevelisrisinggloballyfrom1mmto2mmyearly;however,increasingratesarepredictedtocauseabouta50cmriseinsealevelbytheyear2100.493Theseproblemsareespeciallypertinenttocoastalwetlandswheretherateofelevationrisemayonlybeabout10cmforeachkilometertraversedinland.Ifthegreenhouseeffectisconfirmedaspartoftheglobalclimatechangescenario,eventheselevelswillbeoutpaced.3
