A Fast Vector Radiative Transfer Model for Polarimetric Remote Sensing
(2019-03-13)Polarimetric remote sensing technologies have been demonstrated to be irreplaceable and effective for inferring cloud, aerosol, and ocean properties. To infer atmospheric and oceanic constituent properties from observational ... -
Applications of the Generalized DDA Formalism and the Nature of Polarized Light in Deep Oceans
(2010-01-16)The first part of this study is focused on numerical studies of light scattering from a single microscopic particle using the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) method. The conventional DDA formalism is generalized to ... -
IMPACTS OF NEGLECTING LONGWAVE SCATTERING AND THE METHODS OF REDUCING THESE UNCERTAINTIES IN MODEL SIMULATIONS CONTAINING CLOUDS
(2018-07-31)Since clouds are spread widely around the world and heavily influence the Earth’s energy budget, people extensively use general circulation models (GCMs) to investigate the effect of clouds on the future climate. Since in ... -
Ocean color, a theoretical study using matrix operator theory
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Matrix Operator theory has been extended for application to "Ocean Color" related problems. Required to extend the theory, specialized quadrature methods and both reflection and transmission operators, representing the ... -
Retrieval of Non-Spherical Dust Aerosol Properties from Satellite Observations
(2013-08-01)An accurate and generalized global retrieval algorithm from satellite observations is a prerequisite to understand the radiative effect of atmospheric aerosols on the climate system. Current operational aerosol retrieval ... -
Uncertainty of microwave radiative transfer computations in rain
(2009-06-02)Currently, the effect of the vertical resolution on the brightness temperature (BT) has not been examined in depth. The uncertainty of the freezing level (FL) retrieved using two different satellites' data is large. Various ...
