5 Directors' Preface Throughout the history of the world, the atmosphere, the oceans and the land have interacted to produce global environmental change to which life has contributed and adapted. Legitimate concern is now felt about the possible impact that mankind may be having on the environment and the consequences of human activities on out changing climate. The enhanced greenhouse effect, and global warming, which may affect local temperatures, sea level, and ecological infrastructures, and the reduction of atmospheric ozone, with the consequent danger to life, have concentrated the minds of people and politicians alike. Global environmental monitoring and climate change studies are now considered legitimate areas of research and are receiving financial and moral support from many quarters. Huge international programmes have been established involving the collaboration of scientists from many disciplines and many countries. Climate is a global phenomenon, and changes in climate affect everyone in the world. Remote sensing, with its synoptic, continuous and versatile monitoring capability, is an obvious source of data for the environmental scientist, but an appreciation of its limitations and inaccuracies, and the problems involved in extracting geophysical parameters from the data and correlating them with other data sets, is essential if meaningful predictions are to be made. Management systems will need to be devised to handle types of data which differ not only in format but in accuracy, subjectivity, resolution, classification and stratification. Differences in culture, political regimes, language, population and development will affect the uniformity of data from different parts of the world and provide logistic problems in assimilation into a global data base or global model. Remote sensing is providing, and will continue to provide, valuable ammunition to the world's scientists in their massive task of understanding our climate and the factors which affect it. The potential of Earth observation is now recognised by politicians from most countries to the extent that they are now willing to invest in very expensive and extensive programmes. The breaking down of political barriers in Europe can only hasten the collaboration which is essential if this exercise is to succeed. It was against this background that the present Summer School was devised. The Dundee Summer Schools in Remote Sensing, of which this is the seventh, have attracted support and interest from most parts of the world. This was no exception. Nearly 80 participants and about 15 lecturers from 28 countries gathered in Dundee in Scotland (a country well known for its own particular climate!). Their scientific backgrounds were as diverse as their nationalities, but they were all united by the desire to learn about remote sensing and how it might help them to understand climate change. Lectures covered the principles of remote sensing, the management of data, data requirements in climatology, the principles of modelling, the input of data into models, and the applications of remote sensing to the atmosphere, ice and snow, seas and land.
6 VI Seminars were given on a number of case studies and on the use of CD ROM for storing environmental data. A visit was made to the AVHHR data receiving station for which Dundee University is well known, and a lively discussion on Politics and Global Climate Change also took place. A particular feature was not only the presence of participants from distant countries such as China, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, etc. but the number from geographically close, but previously almost inaccessible, countries in Central and Eastern Europe. One Committee member, who also gave a seminar, and one lecturer both came from St Petersburg. Participants came from Russia, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Hungary. The opportunity to discuss at first hand their different problems and ideas, many of which were only vaguely known in the West until recently, was a memorable experience for most participants. As with several of our previous summer schools, this one was supported as an Advanced Study Institute by the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO for whose support the Directors are particularly grateful. Other support, however, came from the European Commission, the British Council in a number of countries, and the European Space Agency. This additional source of funding enabled us to increase the international participation and to provide a wider lecture programme. We are also grateful to those agencies and institutions which provided support to individuals which enabled them to make the often long journey to Scotland, including the US National Science Foundation and the UK Natural Environmental Research Council. At a very late stage in the preparation of the material for this volume, a very interesting book was published which must be mentioned. This is "Atlas of satellite observations related to global change" edited by R J Gurney, J L Foster and C L Parkinson (Cambridge: University Press) It is a very informative and beautifully produced volume and would provide valuable reading material that is complementary to these Summer School Proceedings. Readers, reviewers and librarians may be concerned that this volume is being published rather a long time after the Summer School itself was held. This is through no fault of the Publishers, who have, in fact, acted very speedily once they received the material from us. The main reason for the delay is that a substantial amount of updating and editorial work has been carried out on several chapters by both authors and editors. The material is therefore more up to date than might appear at first sight. Moreover, while new results from particular climate models or satellite systems continually become available, the underlying principles of the use of remote sensing in climate studies, the substance of this volume, is less ephemeral. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to those colleagues who gave of their valuable time to come to Dundee to teach, and for their cooperation in providing the material which makes up this book, to the participants who attended, as without them the exercise would have been pointless, to our colleagues on the organising committee for helping to make the experience an enjoyable one, to the technical and secretarial staff for making things work and in particular to Pat Cunningham for shouldering most of the administrative burden. The success of such a meeting is a team effort - and we have a superb team.
7 VII Lastly the editors would like to thank Xiuhong Sun and his wife Xiaoping Shi for the many hours they have devoted to converting the material for this book, which arrived in a variety of digital formats, to U.TEX. Anyone who has undertaken such a task will appreciate that this is not trivial! We hope the reader will find the contents interesting and useful. RA Vaughan A P Cracknell Dundee.
