IRS 2004: Current Problems in Atmospheric Radiation [ADP-vol148]

$110.00

The objective of the quadrennial International Radiation Symposium, organized by the International Radiation Commission, is to provide a forum to review the state of the art in the field of atmospheric radiation. These proceedings contain peer-reviewed papers from those presented at the International Radiation Symposium held in Busan, Korea, in August 2004. 

The conference focused on providing opportunities for exchanging advanced ideas and experiences on current problems in atmospheric radiation. It presented a platform for discussing and reviewing knowledge of spectroscopy, radiative transfer theory and modelling, remote sensing, and weather and climate applications. The Symposium attracted about 340 scientists from 25 countries who presented approximately 370 papers in plenary and poster sessions, although not all have been included in these proceedings.  The sessions were arranged according to nine major topics and the same organization is followed in this book.
