This textbook is a first-look at radiative transfer in planetary
atmospheres with a particular focus on the Earth's atmosphere and
climate. It covers the basics of the radiative transfer of
sunlight, treating absorption and scattering, and the transfer of
the thermal infrared. The examples included show how the solutions
of the radiative transfer equation are used to evaluate changes in
the Earth?s energy budget due to changes in atmospheric
composition, how these changes lead to climate change, and also how
remote sensing can be used to probe the thermal structure and
composition of planetary atmospheres. The examples motivate
students by leading them to a better understanding of and
appreciation for the computer-generated numerical results. Aimed at
upper-division undergraduates and beginning graduate students in
physics and atmospheric sciences, the book is designed to cover the
essence of the material in a 10-week course, while the material in
the optional sections will facilitate its use at the more leisurely
pace and in-depth focus of a semester course.
