Blackwell (senior technical staff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory) and Chen (senior engineer at Signal Systems Corporation) present an applications-oriented treatment of neural network methodologies for use in atmospheric remote sensing. Their focus is on the retrieval of atmospheric parameters, such as the Earth's temperature, water vapor profiles, and precipitation rate, but the methodologies can also be applied to other problems where function approximation is required. They begin with simple, theoretical examples demonstrating how performance is affected by basic neural network attributes such as model selection, initialization, and training methodology and then build on those to describe applications common in atmospheric remote sensing. The examples are often accompanied by MATLAB software codes, available on the accompanying CD-ROM, which can be used for larger and more complex problems.
