Analytical Methods in Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (Hardcover)

Provides in-depth knowledge of the physics of radiative transfer In Analytical Methods in Atmospheric Radiative Transfer, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of solutions to practical problems of modern atmospheric physics related to solar light interaction with the terrestrial atmosphere and the remote sensing of clouds, aerosols, and gases. The authors describe newly developed analytics methods in radiative transfer that help explain atmospheric phenomena. The book includes detailed discussions of general error analyses and sensitivity tests, as well as the relationship between modern atmospheric physics and the interaction of solar light with the atmosphere. Readers will also benefit from thorough reviews of various analytical radiative transfer techniques, media with phase functions extended in the forward direction, and semi-infinite, non-absorbing, weakly absorbing, and strongly absorbing light scattering media. Analytical Methods in Atmospheric Radiative Transfer also includes: A thorough introduction to exact solutions of the radiative transfer equation, including situations of no scattering, as well as isotropic and Rayleigh scattering A comprehensive exploration of approximate solutions for scalar radiative transfer, including single and multiple scattering separation and semi-infinite media Practical discussions of approximate solutions for polarized radiative transfer, including optically thick media and the method of discrete ordinates In-depth examinations of the applications of analytical methods in atmospheric radiative transfer, including aerosol remote sensing, cloud remote sensing, and the remote sensing of trace gases Perfect for meteorologists, climatologists and graduate students studying physics, Analytical Methods in Atmospheric Radiative Transfer is also an indispensable resource for geophysicists seeking a practical exploration of modern atmospheric physics.
