Abstract: A numerical method of solving the equation of radiative transfer for a plane parallel, horizontally homogeneous medium is presented. The method is applicable for problems with nonconservative scattering as well as for ...

Abstract: The effects of multiple scattering on the heating rates in the ozone layer are investigated. Computations are performed for two wavelengths, one rather highly absorbing, ?=3112 Å, and one rather weakly absorbing, ?=3323 ...

Abstract: Corrections are made to the governing equation for the integrating nephelometer as derived by Middleton. Calculations show a fortuitous partial correction of the angular truncation error for most commonly occurring ...

Abstract: A method of estimating the vertical distribution of ozone by inverting the equation of radiative transfer is presented. The method allows for all orders of scattering as well as polarization of the diffusely reflected ...

Abstract: In this paper, calculations are presented of the change in reflected flux by the earth-atmosphere system in response to increases in the atmospheric aerosol loading for a range of complex indices of refraction, solar ...

Abstract: Calculations of the normalized back-scattering cross-section, σb, of ice spheres surrounded by shells of liquid water have been made from an extension of the Mie theory to a two-layer model. Curves of σb as a function of ...

Abstract: The Global Positioning System/Meteorology (GPS/MET) project is an active satellite-to-satellite remote sensing experiment using the radio occultation technique. Due to the atmospheric index of refraction and gradient of ...

Abstract: A statistical technique is developed for inferring the optimum values, of the ground albedo and the effective imaginary term of the complex refractive index of atmospheric particulates. The procedure compares measurements ...
