This companion volume offers a broad-ranging introduction and review of satellite remote sensing applications in oceanography, distinct from its predecessor, Measuring the Oceans from Space. The five-year journey of preparing this book has been driven by the compelling nature of the subject. The exploration of scientific literature has revealed exciting and significant advancements in satellite oceanography globally. The aim is to inspire readers to appreciate how space-based sensors provide new perspectives on oceanographic phenomena and enhance ocean science to meet modern civilization's needs. Targeted primarily at postgraduate and senior undergraduate students, this work builds on the systematic explanation of diverse satellite oceanography methods, scientific knowledge, and innovative technology developed since the launch of the first dedicated ocean satellite in 1978. However, the importance of satellite oceanography extends beyond a niche interest in observational instrumentation and data-processing techniques. The recent availability of high-quality, processed satellite data has produced remarkable and inspiring ocean imagery that can convey powerful narratives on their own.

This book will cover the fundamental principles of measuring oceans from space, but will contain state-of-the-art developments in data analysis and interpretation and in sensors. Completely new will be material covering advances in oceanography that have grown out of remote sensing, including some of the global applications of the data. The variety of applications of remotely sensed data to ocean science has grown significantly and new areas of science are emerging to exploit the gobal datasets being recovered by satellites, particularly in relation to climate and climate change, basin-scale, air-sea interaction processes (e. g. El Niño) and the modelling, forecasting and prediction of the ocean.

This is the first book in English devoted to the German king and emperor Henry IV (1056–1106). His reign was one of the most momentous in German history and a turning-point in the history of the medieval empire (the kingdoms of Germany, Italy and Burgundy).

Die Monumenta Germaniae Historica, gegründet 1819 von Karl vom Stein, widmen sich der kritischen Edition und Erforschung mittelalterlicher Quellen zur deutschen und europäischen Geschichte. Durch die Veröffentlichung einer Vielzahl von Texten, darunter Geschichtsschreibung, Urkunden und literarische Werke, ermöglichen sie einen tiefen Einblick in die Vergangenheit. In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich ihre Aufgaben durch die Einbeziehung neuer Quellengruppen und Forschungsbereiche stetig erweitert, was ihre Relevanz in der Geschichtswissenschaft unterstreicht.
