Von der hinteren Coverseite

Aimed at the senior undergraduate and graduate level, this textbook fills the gap between general introductory texts offering little detail and very technical, advanced books written for mathematicians and theorists rather than experimentalists in the field.

The result is a concise course in atmospheric radiative processes, tailored for one semester. The authors are accomplished researchers who know how to reach their intended audience and provide here the content needed to understand climate warming and remote sensing for pollution measurement. They also include supplementary reading for planet scientists and problems. A solutions manual for lecturers will be provided on www.wiley-vch.de.

Equally suitable reading for geophysicists, physical chemists, astronomers, environmental chemists and spectroscopists.

From the contents:

• Introduction
• Notation and Math Refresher
• Fundamentals
• Interactions of EM Radiation and Individual Particles
• Volumetric (Bulk) Optical Properties
• Radiative Transfer Equation
• Numerical and Approximate Solution Techniques for the RTE
• Absorption and Emission by Atmospheric Gases
• Terrestrial Radiative Transfer
