bin
Earth science; Remote sensing
One of a series of equal intervals in a range of data, most commonly employed to describe the divisions in a histogram.
specific heat
Earth science; Remote sensing
The ratio of the heat capacity of unit mass of a material to the heat capacity of unit mass of water.
silver halide
Earth science; Remote sensing
Silver salts that are especially sensitive to visible light and convert to metallic silver when developed.
reflected energy peak
Earth science; Remote sensing
Wavelength (0. 5mm) at which maximum amount of energy is reflected from the earth's surface.
real-aperture radar
Earth science; Remote sensing
Radar system in which azimuth resolution is determined by the transmitted beam width, which is in turn determined by the physical length of the antenna and by the wavelength.
sidelap
Earth science; Remote sensing
Extent of lateral overlap between images acquired on adjacent flight lines.
travel time
Earth science; Remote sensing
In radar, the time interval between the generation of a pulse of microwave energy and its return from the terrain.
