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

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.

《IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing》解决了地球观测和遥感不断增长的应用领域，并为 IEEE 地球科学和遥感协会赞助的快速扩展的特殊问题提供了场所。该期刊借鉴了非常成功的“IEEE地球科学和遥感学报”的经验，并为应用地球观测的广泛主题提供了补充媒介。“应用”领域涵盖全球地球观测综合系统 (GEOSS) 计划的社会效益领域。经过两年多的审议，来自 50 个国家的部长们同意确定地球观测可以对各自国家的生活质量和健康产生积极影响的九个领域。 其中一些领域传统上并未在 IEEE 环境中得到解决。其中包括生物多样性、健康和气候。 然而，正是 IEEE 成员在观测、通信、计算机、信号处理、标准和海洋工程等领域的技能组合构成 GEOSS 的技术基础。因此，该期刊吸引了广泛的兴趣，以新的方式为现有会员提供服务，并将 IEEE 的知名度扩展到新领域。
