Remote sensing has been studied for a long time to monitor the earth terrain. Remote sensing technology has been used globally in many different fields and one of the most popular area of study that uses remote sensing technology is snow monitoring. In previous researches, remote sensing has been modelled on snow area to study the scattering mechanisms of various scattering processes. In this paper, surface volume second order term that was dropped in previous study is derived, included and studied to observe the improvement in the surface volume backscattering coefficient. This new model is applied on snow layer above ground and the snow layer is modelled as a volume of ice particles as the Mie scatterers that are closely packed and bounded by irregular boundaries. Various parameters are used to investigate the improvement of adding the new term. Results show improvement in cross-polarized return, for all the range of parameters studied. Comparison is made with the field measurement result from U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in 1990. Close agreement is shown between developed model and data field backscattering coefficient result.

Abstract: Remote sensing a universal term that represents the activity of gaining data of an object with a sensor that is genuinely away from the item from an aircraft or satellite. Special cameras are used to gather remotely sensed picture which help the analyst to sense the things about the earth. Remote sensing makes it probable to assemble data of risky or unapproachable zones. Remote sensing data allows researchers to examine the biosphere's biotic and abiotic segments. Remote sensing is used in various fields to acquire the data which is widely used in Geographical Information System. Image interpretation is most basic feature of remote sensing technology. Image interpretation is a process of recognizing the images and collect information for multiple uses. The photographs are usually taken by satellite or aircrafts. Keywords: Image interpretation, image interpretation devices, sensor, remote sensing, data analysis.

Submarine pipelines must be designed to resist wave and current induced hydrodynamic forces especially in and near the surf zone. They are buried as protection against forces in the surf zone, however this procedure is not always feasible particularly on a movable sea bed. For this reason the characteristics of the sediment transport on the construction site of beaches should be investigated. In this investigation, the application of the remote sensing method is introduced in order to determine and observe the coastal morphology, so that submarine pipelines may be protected against undesirable seabed movement.

With remote sensing technology and computer technology, remote sensing classification technology has been rapid progress. In the traditional classification of remote sensing technology, based on the combination of today's technology in the field of remote sensing image classification, some new developments and applications for land cover classification techniques to make more comprehensive elaboration. Using the minimum distance classifier extracts of the study area land use types. Ultimately extracted land use study area distribution image and make its analysis and evaluation.
