This book presents recent advances in studies of light propagation,
scattering, emission and absorption in random media. Many natural
and biological media vary randomly in time and space. Examples are
terrestrial atmosphere and ocean, biological liquids and tissues to
name but a few.
The book is aimed at description of recent progress in studies of
light extinction, absorption, and scattering in turbid media. In
particular, light scattering/oceanic optics/planetary optics
research communities are greatly benefit from the publication of
this book.
Theoretical foundations of atmospheric remote sensing are
electromagnetic theory, radiative transfer and inversion theory.
This book provides an overview of these topics in a common context,
compile the results of recent research, as well as fill the gaps,
where needed. The following aspects are covered: principles of
remote sensing, the atmospheric physics, foundations of the
radiative transfer theory, electromagnetic absorption, scattering
and propagation, review of computational techniques in radiative
transfer, retrieval techniques as well as regularization principles
of inversion theory. As such, the book provides a valuable resource
for those who work with remote sensing data and want to get a broad
view of theoretical foundations of atmospheric remote sensing. The
book will be also useful for students and researchers working in
such diverse fields like inverse problems, atmospheric physics,
electromagnetic theory, and radiative transfer.

This book reviews the spaceborne and airborne remote sensing of
clouds including cloud lidar and radar data analysis, snow and soil
reflectance spectroscopy, and single light scattering by
nonspherical scatterers. Providing deep insights into the latest
technologies, it is a valuable resource for scientists and
postgraduate students alike.

This book presents a survey of modern theoretical and experimental
techniques in studies of light scattering phenomena and radiative
transfer processes in random media. It presents reviews on light
scattering by sea water and bubbles, and includes a separate
chapter addressing studies of the remote sensing of crystalline
clouds with a focus on the shape of particles-a parameter rarely
studied by passive remote sensing techniques. In particular, it
offers a comprehensive analysis of polarized radiative transfer in
optically active (e.g., chiral) light scattering media and explores
advances in spectro-polarimetry of particulate media. Lastly it
discusses new developments in light scattering for combustion
monitoring.
This book describes recent advances in radiative transfer,
atmospheric remote sensing, polarization optics of random media,
and light scattering. It is a valuable resource for anyone involved
in light scattering research. Providing numerous step-by-step
tutorials, it allows readers to quickly learn about various aspects
of theoretical and experimental light scattering media optics. The
book features among others a chapter on aerosol remote sensing that
helps readers to define and solve various aerosol remote sensing
problems.
This book presents a survey of modern theoretical techniques in
studies of radiative transfer and light scattering phenomena in
turbid media. It offers a comprehensive analysis of polarized
radiative transfer, and also discusses advances in planetary
spectroscopy as far as aerosol layer height determination is of
interest. Further, it describes approximate methods of the
radiative transfer equation solution for a special case of strongly
scattering media. A separate chapter focuses on optical properties
of Black Carbon aggregates.
This is the eleventh volume in the series Light Scattering Reviews,
devoted to current knowledge of light scattering problems and both
experimental and theoretical research techniques related to their
solution. The focus of this volume is to describe modern advances
in radiative transfer and light scattering optics. This book brings
together the most recent studies on light radiative transfer in the
terrestrial atmosphere, while also reviewing environmental
polarimetry. The book is divided into nine chapters: * the first
four chapters review recent advances in modern radiative transfer
theory and provide detailed descriptions of radiative transfer
codes (e.g., DISORT and CRTM). Approximate solutions of
integro-differential radiative transfer equations for turbid media
with different shapes (spheres, cylinders, planeparallel layers)
are detailed; * chapters 5 to 8 focus on studies of light
scattering by single particles and radially inhomogeneous media; *
the final chapter discusses the environmental polarimetry of
man-made objects.

This book is the first book of its kind, focusing exclusively on
the optical properties of snow. As a complex and turbid medium,
snow is approached as a strongly light-scattering (in the visible
spectrum) medium with large, nonspherical ice grains. The book
discusses both experimental and theoretical results, as well as the
remote sensing of snow using ground-based, airborne and satellite
optical instrumentation. The book will be of particular importance
for researchers studying snow characteristics (the size of grains,
snow pollution and albedo) using various remote-sensing techniques.
The book aims to the description of recent progress in studies of
light absorption and scattering in turbid media. In particular,
light scattering/oceanic optics/snow optics research community will

Polarization methods for the study of the light scattering properties of various disperse media have hitherto only been reviewed in specialist journals relating to the fields of geophysics, astrophysics and optics. The only texts in this field are devoted to specific topics and do not cover the subject as a whole. In this book the author presents for the first time, the main results obtained in the field of polarization optics in a wide range of application areas. These will be used widely in different branches of modern science and technology over the next century. It is expected that this book will stimulate studies in the field and attract new people to this interesting field of research.
