This monograph is devoted to urgent questions of the theory and
applications of the Monte Carlo method for solving problems of
atmospheric optics and hydrooptics. The importance of these
problems has grown because of the increas ing need to interpret
optical observations, and to estimate radiative balance precisely
for weather forecasting. Inhomogeneity and sphericity of the atmos
phere, absorption in atmospheric layers, multiple scattering and
polarization of light, all create difficulties in solving these
problems by traditional methods of computational mathematics.
Particular difficulty arises when one must solve nonstationary
problems of the theory of transfer of narrow beams that are
connected with the estimation of spatial location and time
characteristics of the radiation field. The most universal method
for solving those problems is the Monte Carlo method, which is a
numerical simulation of the radiative-transfer process. This
process can be regarded as a Markov chain of photon collisions in a
medium, which result in scattering or absorption. The Monte Carlo
tech nique consists in computational simulation of that chain and
in constructing statistical estimates of the desired functionals.
The authors of this book have contributed to the development of
mathemati cal methods of simulation and to the interpretation of
optical observations. A series of general method using Monte Carlo
techniques has been developed. The present book includes theories
and algorithms of simulation. Numerical results corroborate the
possibilities and give an impressive prospect of the applications
of Monte Carlo methods."
