This book is dedicated to Dr. Vincent V. Salomonson Few individuals have had such profound impact on the development of Earth remote sensing as Dr. Vincent V. Salomonson. We, his co-editors of this volume, have been chosen to dedicate it to him in recognition of his many contributions to our field. There is not a topic discussed in the book that has not been strongly influenced either by his personal research or his leadership. After completing his undergraduate studies, he began his career as a weather officer in the US Air Force. He then returned to graduate schoo
