This volume provides a thorough and up-to-date treatment of multiple scattering of light and other electromagnetic radiation in media composed of randomly and sparsely positioned particles. It systematically and consistently presents radiative transfer theory as a branch of classical macroscopic electromagnetics. After tracing the fundamental link between radiative transfer theory and the effect of coherent backscattering, the authors explain them in the context of a comprehensive hierarchy of electromagnetic scattering problems. Dedicated sections present a thorough discussion of the physical meaning and range of applicability of the radiative transfer equation and compare the self-consistent microphysical and the traditional phenomenological approaches to radiative transfer. This self-contained book will be valuable for science professionals, engineers, and graduate students working across a wide range of disciplines including optics, electromagnetics, remote sensing, atmospheric radiation, astrophysics, and biomedicine.

There is hardly a field of science or engineering that does not
have some interest in light scattering by small particles. For
example, this subject is important to climatology because the
energy budget for the Earth's atmosphere is strongly affected by
scattering of solar radiation by cloud and aerosol particles, and
the whole discipline of remote sensing relies largely on analyzing
the parameters of radiation scattered by aerosols, clouds, and
precipitation. The scattering of light by spherical particles can
be easily computed using the conventional Mie theory. However, most
small solid particles encountered in natural and laboratory
conditions have nonspherical shapes. Examples are soot and mineral
aerosols, cirrus cloud particles, snow and frost crystals, ocean
hydrosols, interplanetary and cometary dust grains, and
microorganisms. It is now well known that scattering properties of
nonspherical particles can differ dramatically from those of
"equivalent" (e.g., equal-volume or equal-surface-area) spheres.
Therefore, the ability to accurately compute or measure light
scattering by nonspherical particles in order to clearly understand
the effects of particle nonsphericity on light scattering is very
important. * The first systematic and comprehensive treatment of
electromagnetic scattering by nonspherical particles and its
applications
