Bücher von Alexander A. Kokhanovsky

The work is aimed at the review of hot topics in modern light scattering and radiative transfer. A special attention will be given to the description of the methods of integro-differential radiative transfer equation solution. In particular, the asymptotic radiative transfer and the method of discrete ordinates will be considered.

In addition, problems related to the image transfer through clouds and cloud remote sensing are addressed in this book in great detail.This book can be an important source of information on theoretical cloud optics for cloud physicists, meteorologists and optical engineers.

This is the 4th volume of this series devoted to current knowledge of light scattering problems and both experimental and theoretical research techniques related to their solution. This volume focuses on single light scattering and radiative transfer.

This is the 3rd volume of a "Light Scattering Reviews" series devoted to current knowledge of light scattering problems and both experimental and theoretical research techniques related to their solution. This volume covers applications in remote sensing, inverse problems and geophysics, with a particular focus on terrestrial clouds.

Part of the "Light Scattering Reviews" series that is devoted to modern knowledge and milestones in both experimental and theoretical techniques related to light scattering and radiative transport problems. This work gives a picture of developments in the area of remote sensing and radiative transfer.

This book describes modern advances in radiative transfer and light scattering. Coverage includes fast radiative transfer techniques, use of polarization in remote sensing and recent developments in remote sensing of snow properties from space observations.

This cutting edge book analyzes the effect of aerosols on the Earth's climate and introduces for the first time satellite aerosol remote sensing over land. The book is written by specialists working at the forefront of research in this important area.

The theory of the scattering of light by small particles is very important in a wide range of applications in atmospheric physics and atmospheric optics, ocean optics, remote sensing, astronomy and astrophysics and biological optics.

This new text offers experienced students a comprehensive review of available techniques for the remote sensing of aerosols. Aerosols may also be responsible for the loss of harvests, human health problems and ecological disasters. Thus, this detailed study of aerosol properties on a global scale could not be more timely.
