Technically speaking, only the two-stream model in homogeneous (or layered) plane-
parallel, cylindrical, or spherical geometries can be truly one-dimensional (1D) because …

There are two simple approaches to the manifestly 3D problem of radiative transfer in the
cloudy atmosphere in the solar spectrum. First, the “weighted plane-parallel” approximation …

Radiative transfer in clouds is a challenging task, due to their high spatial and temporal
variability which is unrivaled by any other atmospheric species. Clouds are among the main …

Developments in three-dimensional cloud radiation over the past few decades are assessed
and distilled into this contributed volume. Chapters are authored by subject-matter experts …

This presentation will discuss the development of three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer
in cloudy atmospheres for the last two decades. The main emphasis will be put on the …

Interaction of photons with a host medium is described by a linear transport equation. This
equation has a very simple physical interpretation; it is a mathematical statement of the …

The interplay of sunlight with clouds is a ubiquitous and often pleasant visual experience,
but it conjures up major challenges for weather, climate, environmental science and beyond …

In the first two installments of this series, various cloud models were studied with angularly
discretized versions of radiative transfer. This simplification allows the effects of cloud …

The three-dimensional equation of radiative transfer is formally solved using a Fourier-
Riccati approach while calculations are performed on cloudy media embedded in a two …

Basic Multidimensional Radiative Transfer ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely
retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that …
