Theory of Atmospheric Radiative Transfer

Download or read book Theory of Atmospheric Radiative Transfer written by Manfred Wendisch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at the senior undergraduate and graduate level, this textbook fills the gap between general introductory texts offering little detail and very technical, advanced books written for mathematicians and theorists rather than experimentalists in the field. The result is a concise course in atmospheric radiative processes, tailored for one semester. The authors are accomplished researchers who know how to reach their intended audience and provide here the content needed to understand climate warming and remote sensing for pollution measurement. They also include supplementary reading for planet scientists and problems. Equally suitable reading for geophysicists, physical chemists, astronomers, environmental chemists and spectroscopists. A solutions manual for lecturers will be provided on www.wiley-vch.de/supplements.
