After successful completion of the course, students are able to (i) describe the measurement principles of active and passive microwave sensors using physical models and (ii) interpret the information content of microwave remote sensing data based on an understanding of the interaction of microwaves with natural objects.
The lecture follows the available script, which together with the handouts is also suitable for self study. The derivation of important physical models is explained step by step on the blackboard or using slides. Students can prepare for the exam using a list of examplary questions.
