Abstract: Results of multiple-scattering calculations of diffuse reflection and diffuse transmission from scattering layers of different particle size and/or index of refraction are presented. Comparison of the results for each ...

Abstract: Instability limits the usefulness of indirect sounding, i.e. the deduction of a physical distribution from a set of observations which represent an integral transform of the former. A method is presented which allows a ...

Abstract: A matrix method for multiple-scattering problems, which was the subject of earlier papers, is extended to include the state of polarization in the description of both singly and multiply scattered raditaion. Comparisons ...

Abstract: Results of calculations of diffuse reflection and transmission of cloud-model layers are presented. These calculations which are based on matrix methods developed by the authors and discussed in a previous paper include ...

Abstract: If the radiation field is approximated by a discrete distribution at points or latitude circles on the unit sphere, matrix relationships can be written between incident and reflected or transmitted radiation fields. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, the algorithm used for calculating the water vapor distribution from SIRS-B spectral radiances is given. Examples are presented illustrating the effects of errors in the water vapor absorption coefficients ...

Abstract: A seven-channel Multi-spectral Scanning Radiometer (MSR) was flown aboard the NASA Convair-990 aircraft during the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) from June?September, 1974. The radiometer measures the total ...

Abstract: It is shown that the partial interferogram measurement technique, originally developed to separate the trace gas emissions from a spectral signal dominated by background radiation (from the earth's surface) and emissions ...
