"Remote sensing is a unique tool to observe the Earth system, and to quantitatively monitor a variety of key atmospheric, land and ocean variables by measuring radiation reflected or emitted by the earth or atmosphere. With the availability of more and more remote sensing data from various types of instruments with different spectral characteristics, temporal and spatial resolutions, the field of quantitative land remote sensing is advancing rapidly. This course provides an overview of Earth Observation from Space by describing basic concepts of orbits and viewing from space, instrument characteristics as well as exploring the electromagnetic radiation ranges used by remote sensing devices, like in the VIS, NIR, SWIR, TIR atmospheric windows and active and passive Microwave regions, but also within atmospheric absorption bands. Radiative transfer equation and atmospheric correction for signal correction are discussed and practised. \n\nAttention is given to space and ground segments, operational (meteorological) satellite programmes within the ocean and sea ice, land and atmospheric domains and the retrieval of various space based observations of geophysical variables and their availability in cloud repositories and online processing platforms, and their retrieval.\n\nAlso attention is given to calibration and validation, related to instrument calibration (before launch, on board and vicarious calibration) but also to bias adjustment of long term data records and the need of validation when using the geophysical variables obtained through space based observations.
