Abstract: We propose an approximate method for evaluating the interaction Of randomly oriented. nonspherical particles with the total intensity component of electromagnetic radiation. When the particle size parameter x (the ratio ...

Abstract: The observed zonal motion of Jupiter's atmosphere near the cloud tops is investigated assuming geostrophic balance and a systematic temperature difference between light and dark bands. Excellent agreement is obtained between ...

Abstract: We present an approximate technique for solving the radiative transfer problem for fluxes reflected, transmitted, and absorbed by a homogeneous scattering layer. The technique is a straightforward ?delta-function? modification ...
