Reviews
"Liou's book is broad and rigorous. It covers the topics well from fundamental principles to applications. A student who has mastered
the book will be well prepared to start research in atmospheric radiation. A research worker who needs a quick review of the basic physics
behind the state-of-the-art radiative codes used in climate models and remote sensing will find this an invaluable resource."
-Yuk L.
Yung, Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society
"The many differences between [the first and second] editions illustrate
areas of major progress in the field, as is evidenced in thermal infrared radiative transfer and even in the creations of completely
new fields like three-dimensional radiative transfer or light scattering by nonspherical particles. Obviously, the major changes happened
not in the theory...but in data quality and completely new measurements (mostly due to new satellite data) with higher accuracy and more
reliability. The new edition illustrates this progress well."
-Alexander Marshak, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Bulletin of the
American Meteorological Society
"The First Edition of this book has become a standard (advanced) text for graduate students and researchers
working in the area of atmospheric radiative transfer ...Professor Liou has a leading international standing in studies of the interaction
of solar radiation with the Earth's atmosphere and his book reflects his expertise in that area."

Physics, The Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College, London, UK
