Download or read book Atmospheric Transmission Emission and Scattering written by Thomas G. Kyle and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces the physical processes and meteorology required to understand the behaviour of light and radiation in the atmosphere. Integrating the treatment of atmospheric optics from the ultraviolet to the microwave, the book presents a detailed overview, together with discussions, on the associated meteorology and atmospheric composition, which gives the meteorological background necessary to deal with the varying conditions found in the real atmosphere. Mathematical details provide a concise description of results thus allowing readers with a knowledge of meteorology or a single wavelength region to comprehend the transmission, emission and scattering in all wavelength regions. Rayleigh and Mie scattering are covered as well as the aerosol and raindrop distributions found in the atmosphere. Detailed models of the atmosphere and the distribution of trace gases are supplied, and finally a chapter is devoted to standardised software and available data bases.

Book excerpt: In the paper single ended and double telephotometers are analyzed in the light of the Mie theory for the scattering of light by isotropic spherical particles. It is shown that the double ended telephotometer has an inherent possibility of error when used to measure atmospheric transmissivity. The single ended telephotometer, on the other hand, offers the optimum technique for obtaining an error free measurement. The analysis of the single ended device is expanded and by deriving a relationship between the transmissivity the intensity of light backscattered from the atmosphere and the elements of the scattering matrix, it is shown that the atmospheric transmissivity can be predicted by examining the backscattered light from a pulsed light source. An experiment is performed in which a Q-switched ruby laser is used as the light source and atmospheric transmissivity is obtained by measuring the backscattered light. These measurements are compared with simultaneous transmissivity measurements taken on stars by conventional methods.

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.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Atmospheric Radiation written by Craig F. Bohren and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meeting the need for teaching material suitable for students of atmospheric science and courses on atmospheric radiation, this textbook covers the fundamentals of emission, absorption, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation from ultraviolet to infrared and beyond. Much of the contents applies to planetary atmosphere, with graded discussions providing a thorough treatment of subjects, including single scattering by particles at different levels of complexity. The discussion of the simple multiple scattering theory introduces concepts in more advanced theories, such that the more complicated two-stream theory allows readers to progress beyond the pile-of-plates theory. The authors are physicists teaching at the largest meteorology department in the US at Penn State. The problems given in the text come from students, colleagues, and correspondents, and the figures designed especially for this book facilitate comprehension. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of atmospheric science. * Free solutions manual available for lecturers at www.wiley-vch.de/supplements/
Download or read book Atmospheric Transmittance from 0 25 to 28 5 Um written by J. E. A. Selby and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FORTRAN computer program, LOWTRAN 3, is described for calculating the transmittance of the atmosphere in the spectral region from 0.25 to 28.5 micrometers at a spectral resolution of 20/cm. The program provides a choice of six atmospheric models covering seasonal and latitudinal variations from sea level to 100 km, two haze models, and accounts for molecular absorption, molecular scattering, and aerosol extinction. Refraction and earth curvature effects are also included. This program provides some modifications to the molecular absorption and aerosol extinction data provided in an earlier LOWTRAN 2 report. In addition, input modifications have been made, making the LOWTRAN 3 program considerably more flexible in terms of the input of meteorological data.
