IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing

《IEEE应用地球观测和遥感选题杂志》论述了地球观测和遥感应用领域的日益扩大，并为由IEEE地球科学和遥感协会赞助的迅速扩大的特殊问题提供了一个场所。该杂志借鉴了“IEEE地球科学和遥感汇刊”的成功经验，为应用地球观测的广泛主题提供了补充媒介。“应用”领域包括全球地球观测系统（GEOS）项目的社会效益领域。通过两年多的审议，来自50个国家的部长们同意确定9个地区，地球观测可能对各自国家的生活质量和健康产生积极影响。其中一些领域传统上不是在IEEE环境中解决的。这些包括生物多样性、健康和气候。然而，在诸如观测、通信、计算机、信号处理、标准和海洋工程等领域，是IEEE成员的技能集构成了全球测地系统的技术基础。因此，期刊吸引了广泛的兴趣，以新的方式服务于现有的会员，并扩大了IEEE对新领域的了解。

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing addresses the growing field of applications in Earth observations and remote sensing, and also provides a venue for the rapidly expanding special issues that are being sponsored by the IEEE Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society. The journal draws upon the experience of the highly successful “IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing” and provide a complementary medium for the wide range of topics in applied earth observations. The ‘Applications’ areas encompasses the societal benefit areas of the Global Earth Observations Systems of Systems (GEOSS) program. Through deliberations over two years, ministers from 50 countries agreed to identify nine areas where Earth observation could positively impact the quality of life and health of their respective countries. Some of these are areas not traditionally addressed in the IEEE context. These include biodiversity, health and climate. Yet it is the skill sets of IEEE members, in areas such as observations, communications, computers, signal processing, standards and ocean engineering, that form the technical underpinnings of GEOSS. Thus, the Journal attracts a broad range of interests that serves both present members in new ways and expands the IEEE visibility into new areas.
