5.12.3. Radiometric Resolution

Try these first

1. 1.

   What causes Mie scattering?

   Hint

   Think about small particles compared to light wavelengths.

2. 2.

   What happens during non-selective scattering?

   Hint

   Remember how clouds look when they scatter light!

3. 3.

   What contributes to Mie scattering?

   • A. Large particles
   • B. Small particles
   • C. Both

   Hint

   Think about which particles impact visibility.

4. 4.

   True or False: Absorption increases image contrast.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider what happens to light energy.

5. 5.

   Analyze a given satellite image and determine how scattering effects (Mie and non-selective) might have altered the perceived colors and features in that image.

   Hint

   Look at the color saturation and brightness levels.

6. 6.

   Propose a plan for a remote sensing project considering atmospheric variables like transmission and absorption. What measurements would you take?

   Hint

   Think about weather patterns that may restrict visibility.
