The Book pertains to Climate Change and the Role of Satellites in Climate Change Monitoring : Over the past four decades, the satellite based remote sensing technology has developed rapidly leading to a information revolution in terms of digital data, images and quantitative change detection. The high resolution, multispectral data provided by satellites has made it possible to characterise dynamic resources like water, vegetation and landuse with very high precision. The meteorological satellites is providing an instant view of global circulation and weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, winds, cloud cover and rainfall. A time series analysis of the satellite derived parameters helps in estimation of global change indicators at global, regional and locale scales. The critical parameters related to climate change were listed as under three main themes of land, ocean and atmosphere. The land related parameters are landuse changes, biodiversity, coast line change, deforestation. Ocean contributes in terms of sea surface temperature, productivity, sea level change. The atmosphere expresses climate change in terms of circulation patterns, jet streams.
