[PP] Physical principles

The knowledge of physical laws and principles regulating the emission of e.m. radiation and its interactions with the matter, as well the ones related to the design, setting-up and control of EO platforms and related instruments, are of paramount importance for a rigth interpretation of EO measurements in relation with the investigated Earth's phenomena and parameters.
