| Session Description | Remote sensing is a technique for measuring, observing, or monitoring a process or object without physically touching the object under observation. Because the remote sensing instrumentation is not in contact with the object being observed, remote sensing allows - to measure a process without causing disturbance, - to probe large volumes economically and quickly, such as providing global measurements of aerosols, air pollution, agriculture, impacts on the environment, solar and terrestrial systems, ocean surface roughness and large-scale geographic features. This session invites the contribution from wide range of scales of remote sensing techniques to study the atmosphere structure and dynamics, Such as; • Different remote sensing techniques (both Active and Passive) (for e-g.,) - Lidars, Radars, Radiosonde/Ozonesonde, Spectrometers, Satellite and etc., • Model simulation studies, • Data validation and retrieval analysis, • Atmosphere structure and Dynamics, • New remote sensing developments, • Global warming and Climate change, • Vertical and Horizontal exchange processes in the atmosphere • Studies related to aerosols, clouds, water vapour, ozone and etc., • Atmosphere turbulence • Climatology and seasonal variability |
