Abstract The National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB), consisting of solar radiation and
meteorological data over the United States and regions of the surrounding countries, is a …

Measurements of the dependence of snow albedo on wavelength, zenith angle, grain size,
impurity content, and cloud cover can be interpreted in terms of single‐scattering and …

We summarize an advanced, thoroughly documented, and quite general purpose discrete
ordinate algorithm for time-independent transfer calculations in vertically inhomogeneous …

This comprehensive text describes the atmospheric processes, numerical methods, and
computational techniques required for a scientist to successfully study air pollution and …

A method is described for finding the optical properties (scattering, absorption, and
scattering anisotropy) of a slab of turbid material by using total reflection, unscattered …

The authors have developed a physics-based land-surface temperature (LST) algorithm for
simultaneously retrieving surface band-averaged emissivities and temperatures from …

Photolysis rates in the troposphere are greatly affected by the presenceof cloud and aerosol
layers. Yet, the spatial variability of theselayers along with the difficulty of multiple-scattering …

A number of technological processes and natural phenomena are accompanied by heat
transfer concerned with media thermal radiation. Generally, thermal radiation is thought to …

SCIATRAN is a comprehensive software package for the modeling of radiative transfer
processes in the terrestrial atmosphere and ocean in the spectral range from the ultraviolet …

The albedo for independent pixel (1D) solar transfer. The top panel shows the albedo and
SHDOM albedo error (from a doubling–adding model) as a function of optical depth. The …
