Description
This Second Edition of An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation has been extensively revised to address the fundamental
study and quantitative measurement of the interactions of solar and terrestrial radiation with molecules, aerosols, and cloud particles
in planetary atmospheres. It contains 70% new material, much of it stemming from the investigation of the atmospheric greenhouse effects
of external radiative perturbations in climate systems, and the development of methodologies for inferring atmospheric and surface parameters
by means of remote sensing. Liou's comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of atmospheric radiation was developed for students, academics,
and researchers in atmospheric sciences, remote sensing, and climate modeling.
Audience
Senior undergraduate and graduate students and academic and professional researchers in atmospheric sciences, particularly remote sensing, radiation climatology, cloud physics and thermodynamics.
Contents
Fundamentals of Radiation for Atmospheric Applications.
Solar Radiation at the Top of the Atmosphere.
Absorption and Scattering of Solar
Radiation in the Atmosphere.
Thermal Infrared Radiation Transfer in the Atmosphere.
Light Scattering by Atmospheric Particulates.
Principles
of Radiative Transfer in Planetary Atmospheres.
Application of Radiative Transfer Principles to Remote Sensing.
