| Abstract
|
:
|
This textbook is written for meteorology and climatology students who require an introduction to the principles and practical consequences of atmospheric radiation. Its objective is to foster an understanding of how radiation works and to provide a solid conceptual and mathematical foundation for further study. Includes information on clouds, electromagnetic radiation, extinction, flux, Infrared radiation, Mie theory, polarization, solar radiation, ultraviolet radiation, water vapor, etc.
