Description and Table of Contents
Description
This new text offers experienced students a comprehensive review of available techniques for the remote sensing of aerosols. These small particles influence both atmospheric visibility and the thermodynamics of the atmosphere. They are also of great importance in any consideration of climate change problems. Aerosols may also be responsible for the loss of harvests, human health problems and ecological disasters. Thus, this detailed study of aerosol properties on a global scale could not be more timely.
Table of Contents
Microstructure and chemical composition.- Single light scattering and absorption by aerosol particles.- Optical properties of specific aerosol types.- Aerosol models.- Radiative transfer in aerosol media.- Aerosol passive remoted sensing.- Active remote sensing of aerosols.- Aerosols and climate.
