NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite ICESat-2, launched September 15, 2018,
carries the first space-borne multi-beam micro-pulse photon-counting laser altimeter system …

In this paper, we extend the unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) method to multiscale
photon transport. In this method, the photon free streaming and scattering processes are …

In many parts of the world, snowmelt energetics is dominated by solar irradiance. This is
particularly the case in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where clear skies dominate the …

This Essay traces the centuries-long history of the phenomenological disciplines of
directional radiometry and radiative transfer in turbid media, discusses their fundamental …

To study the temperature in a gas subjected to electromagnetic radiations, one may use the
Radiative Transfer equations coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations. The problem has 7 …

The authors developed a numerical method of the boundary-value problem solution in the
vectorial radiative transfer theory applicable to the turbid media with an arbitrary three …

Preface libRadtran is a library of radiative transfer routines and programs. The central
program of the libRadtran package is the radiative transfer tool uvspec. uvspec was …

Enhancement of solar irradiance (IE) has been observed in many locations under partly
cloudy sky conditions. Despite its notoriety, few studies have attempted to systematically …

An efficient method to compute accurate polarized solar radiance spectra using the (3D)
Monte Carlo model MYSTIC has been developed. Such high resolution spectra are …

This study presents an original method to evaluate key parameters for the estimation of the
direct radiative effect (DRE) of aerosol above clouds: the absorption of the the cloud albedo …
