Clouds affect the climate of the Earth, and they are an important
factor in the weather. Therefore, their radiative properties must
be understood in great detail. This book summarizes current
knowledge on cloud optical properties, for example their ability to
absorb, transmit, and reflect light, which depends on the cloudsa
(TM) geometrical and microphysical characteristics such as sizes of
droplets and crystals, their shapes, and structures. In addition,
problems related to the image transfer through clouds and cloud
remote sensing are addressed in this book in great detail.
This book can serve as a major introductory text in cloud optics
for students; it can also be an important source of information on
theoretical cloud optics for cloud physicists, meteorologists and
optical engineers.
All basic ideas of optics as related to scattering of light in
clouds (e.g. Mie theory and radiative transfer) are considered in a
self consistent way. Consequently, the book can also be a useful
textbook to newcomers to the field.
