An Introduction To Atmospheric Radiation by K. N. Liou, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This Second Edition ofAn Introduction to Atmospheric Radiationhas been extensively revised to address the fundamental study and quantitative measurement of the interactions of solar and terrestrial radiation with molecules, aerosols, and cloud particles in planetary atmospheres. It contains 70% new material, much of it stemming from the investigation of the atmospheric greenhouse effects of external radiative perturbations in climate systems, and the development of methodologies for inferring atmospheric and surface parameters by means of remote sensing. Liou's comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of atmospheric radiation was developed for students, academics, and researchers in atmospheric sciences, remote sensing, and climate modeling. Balanced treatment of fundamentals and applicationsIncludes over 170 illustrations to complement the concise description of each subjectNumerous examples and hands-on exercises at the end of each chapter | An Introduction To Atmospheric Radiation by K.
