Terrestrial Radiative Transfer (eBook, PDF)

Modeling, Computation, and Data Analysis

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses radiative transfer through the atmosphere. Innovative mathematical models and computational techniques are explained to solve the basic problem of how to interpret data about the earth's surface captured by satellites or aircraft. Algorithms are given to compensate for the distortion caused by the variable nature of the atmosphere.
