The volume gives the reader a basic understanding of global warming and enhanced levels of harmful ultraviolet radiation caused by ozone depletion. It teaches the basic physics of absorption, scattering, and emission proceses in turbid media, such as the atmosphere and ocean, using simple semiclassical models. The radiative transfer equation, including multiple scattering, is formulated and solved for several prototype problems, using both simple approximate and accurate numerical methods. In addition, the reader has access to a powerful, state-of-the-art computational code for simulating radiative transfer processes in coupled atmosphere-water systems, including snow and ice. This computational code can be regarded as a powerful educational aid, but also as a research tool that can be applied to solve a variety of research problems in environmental sciences"--Page 4 of cover. 500 $a "First published 2017"--Title page verso. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 491-508) and index. 650 0 $a Radiative transfer. 650 0 $a Atmospheric radiation. 650 0 $a Oceanography. 650 0 $a Environmental sciences. 700 1 $a Thomas, Gary E., $e author. 700 1 $a Stamnes, Jakob J., $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205012236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=22D2E12CD98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
