Abstract

Remote sensing of land cover, atmosphere and World Ocean aquatories is based on the recording of the background or reflected and scattered electromagnetic radiation. The ability to obtain data on the properties of environmental elements is related to the knowledge of explaining the dependence of thermal emission on the physical and geothermal parameters. Also, the scattering mechanims and the active reflection of radiation are functions of these parameters (Shutko et al. 1994, 2010; Krapivin and Shutko 2002; Petty 1995; Schimel 1995).
