Abstract

The rapid advancements in remote sensing technology have significantly enhanced our ability to monitor climatic phenomena from a distance, providing invaluable insights into global climate patterns and local environmental changes. This paper reviews the latest developments in remote sensing applications for climate monitoring, highlighting the integration of satellite data, ground-based sensors, and computational models to analyze climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric composition. The increasing precision and resolution of these remote sensing tools enable researchers and policymakers to detect climate trends, assess the impact of human activities, and predict future climate scenarios. The paper discusses the advantages and limitations of various remote sensing techniques, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for the effective utilization of this vast data source. Furthermore, it examines the role of remote sensing in disaster management, ecosystem health assessment, and policy development, underscoring the growing relevance of these technologies in addressing climate-related challenges.
