Monte Carlo Calculations of Radiative Transfer in the Earth's Atmosphere-Ocean System: I. Flux in the Atmosphere and Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The upward and downward flux at various levels in the atmosphere and ocean is calculated by a Monte Carlo method which includes all orders of multiple scattering. A realistic model of the atmosphere-ocean system is used. ...
Radiative Transfer in the Earth's Atmosphere-ocean System: II. Radiance in the Atmosphere and Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The upward and downward radiance is calculated for a realistic model of the atmosphere-ocean system by a Monte Carlo method. All known processes are taken into account which affect the solar photons, including scattering ...
Radiance and Polarization of the Earth's Atmosphere with Haze and Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The radiance and polarization of the earth's atmosphere with haze and clouds has been calculated for a realistic model which includes Rayleigh scattering from the atmospheric molecules, Mie scattering from aerosols which ...
Monte Carlo Calculations of the Polarization of Radiation in the Earth's Atmosphere-Ocean System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The degree and direction of polarization, the ellipticity, and the radiance of the radiation at various levels in the atmosphere and ocean are calculated by a Monte Carlo method which includes all orders of multiple ...
An improved small-angle approximation for forward scattering and its use in a fast two-component radiative transfer method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he vector radiative transfer equation is decomposed into two components: a forward and a diffuse component. The forward component is analytically solved with a small-angle approximation. The solution of the forward component ...
The Influence of Ozone and Aerosols on the Brightness and Color of the Twilight Sky
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The radiance and color of the twilight sky are calculated for single scattered radiation with the use of spherical symmetric models of the earth's atmosphere. Spherical geometry is used throughout the calculations with no ...
An Explicit Form of the Mie Phase Matrix for Multiple Scattering Calculations in the I, Q, U and V Representation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An explicit expression is obtained for the phase matrix in the I, Q, U and V Stokes vector representation for a system containing a polydispersion of spherical particles. All of the symmetry relations derived by Hovenier ...
Spectrally Consistent Scattering, Absorption, and Polarization Properties of Atmospheric Ice Crystals at Wavelengths from 0.2 to 100 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: data library is developed containing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties of ice particles in the spectral range from 0.2 to 100 ?m. The properties are computed based on a combination of the Amsterdam ...
Improvement of the Simulation of Cloud Longwave Scattering in Broadband Radiative Transfer Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCloud longwave scattering is generally neglected in general circulation models (GCMs), but it plays a significant and highly uncertain role in the atmospheric energy budget as demonstrated in recent studies. To ...
Effect of Cavities on the Optical Properties of Bullet Rosettes: Implications for Active and Passive Remote Sensing of Ice Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bullet rosette particles are common in ice clouds, and the bullets may often be hollow. Here the single-scattering properties of randomly oriented hollow bullet rosette ice particles are investigated. A bullet, which is ...
