This new and completely updated edition gives a detailed
description of radiative transfer processes at a level accessible
to advanced students. The volume gives the reader a basic
understanding of global warming and enhanced levels of harmful
ultraviolet radiation caused by ozone depletion. It teaches the
basic physics of absorption, scattering and emission processes in
turbid media, such as the atmosphere and ocean, using simple
semi-classical models. The radiative transfer equation, including
multiple scattering, is formulated and solved for several prototype
problems, using both simple approximate and accurate numerical
methods. In addition, the reader has access to a powerful,
state-of-the-art computational code for simulating radiative
transfer processes in coupled atmosphere-water systems including
snow and ice. This computational code can be regarded as a powerful
educational aid, but also as a research tool that can be applied to
solve a variety of research problems in environmental sciences.
