DESCRIPTION:
Very good The service provided is indeed very good. However, inevitably there exist some printing mistakes in this hard cover edition. Some pages are confused with others, also some characters are printed wrong. That's why I just give it Very good Zero The service provided is indeed very good. However, inevitably there exist some printing mistakes in this hard cover edition. Some pages are confused with others, also some characters are printed wrong. That's why I just give it 4 stats other than 5.. stats other than 5.. Jack said one of the best textbooks that I ever read. This is really a talk-to-student text book, especially among the ones of radiative transfer topic. It reads much easier than Goody's. Also more updated and providing more pracitical guidance for those who want to write up a small program to test out some theories and those serious ones, like atmospheric radiative transf. Great physical insight solving radiative transfer problems This text covers a broad range of topics in radiative transfer with clarity and style. What is particularly appreciated is that the text not only provides detailed solutions to radiative transfer problems, but discusses their weaknesses and strengths in practical applications, and also provides unusual insight into thei
The radiative transfer equation, including multiple scattering, is formulated and solved for several prototype problems, using both simple approximate and accurate numerical methods. 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 processes in turbid media, such as the atmosphere and ocean, using simple semi-classical models. This new and completely updated edition gives a detailed description of radiative transfer processes at a level accessible to advanced students. 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.. 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
The book is easy to read, and there are many examples to illustrate the concepts discussedIt should serve well as an introduction to radiative transfer." EOS"All in all, this is a valuable resource for those interested in terrestrial radiative transfer. It contains good discussions and physical explanations within the main text, useful summaries, notes, comments, and up-to-date references." Physics Today . "the book provides a lucid and reasonably complete, practical treatment of the fundamentals of plane-parallel radiative transfer theory in the atmosphere and ocean and the exchange of radiant energy between the atmosphere and ocean
