This paper presents the operational cloud retrieval algorithms for the TROPOspheric
Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board the European Space Agency Sentinel-5 …

In this paper we make practical use of the recently developed first-principles approach to
electromagnetic scattering by particles immersed in an unbounded absorbing host medium …

Earth observations collected by remote sensors provide unique information to our ever-
growing knowledge of the terrestrial biosphere. Yet, retrieving information from remote …

Problems of improving the efficiency of the Monte Carlo numerical simulation of solar
radiation propagation in the Earth's atmosphere by transition from sequential to parallel …

Characterizing 3-D structure of clouds is needed for a more complete understanding of the
Earth's radiative and latent heat fluxes. Here we develop and explore a ray casting algorithm …

The single scattering properties of hydrosols play an important role in the study of ocean
optics, ocean color remote sensing, and ocean biogeochemistry research. Measurements …

A discrete spherical harmonics method is developed for the radiative transfer problem in
inhomogeneous polarized planar atmosphere illuminated at the top by a collimated sunlight …

In a companion paper [Davis et al., JQSRT 216, 6–16 (2018)], we used a numerical 1D
radiative transfer (RT) model and the statistical formalism of optimal estimation to quantify …

Simulations of total and polarized cloud reflectance angular signatures such as the ones
measured by the multi-angular and polarized radiometer POLDER3/PARASOL are used to …

In a context of global climate change, the understanding of the radiative role of clouds is
crucial. On average, ice clouds such as cirrus have a significant positive radiative effect, but …
