This book was produced at the invitation of our Publishing Editor at Springer, Petra van Steenbergen. We thank her for the invitation. It is one of a series of remote sensing books (Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing), each of which addresses a specific topic within the remote sensing field. Our contribution, unlike the other books in this series, is not aimed at remote sensing scientists. As such, there is very little optical theory in the book with the exception of one chapter which presents in detail the optical algorithms that form the basis of an interactive program (WASI, the “Water colour Simulator”). The program is offered on the CD that accompanies this book, and is in association with a chapter by Peter Gege and Andreas Albert. In this case, technical details are provided for remote sensing scientists who are interested in the optical and theoretical bases for the program. Remote sensing and non-remote sensing scientists alike can manipulate this program to view the effects of various substances (pigments, sediment) on spectra. We thank these authors for this valuable contribution.
