Light Scattering Reviews 10

The work is aimed at the review of hot topics in modern light scattering and radiative transfer. A special attention will be given to the description of the methods of integro-differential radiative transfer equation solution. In particular, the asymptotic radiative transfer and the method of discrete ordinates will be considered. A comprehensive review of light absorption in the terrestrial atmosphere will be given as well. The inverse problem solution will be reviewed as well.

The book presents the results of cutting edge research in light scattering and radiative transfer The book can be used create software for the simulation of the polarized light propagation in atmosphere and ocean The book offers deep theoretical insight in radiative transfer processes
