Abstract

Remote sensing is a method of obtaining information about our environment through a study of data acquired by device that is not in direct physical contact with the object. For microwave remote sensing there are two types of sensors Active and Passive which provide information about the terrain. Brightness Temperatures is a measure of the intensity of microwave radiations emitted by an object given in units of temperature (degree Kelvin). Brightness temperature can be used to derive important geophysical parameters of a particular area. In the present paper correlation and comparison has been done between the known geophysical parameters of various sites with the brightness temperature values obtained from MSMR.
