IRS '92: Current Problems in Atmospheric Radiation : Proceedings of the International Radiation Symposium Tallinn, Estonia, 3-8 August 1992

These proceedings of the scientific program of IRS ^92 consist of four sections. Section 1 is dedicated to the interactions between clouds and radiation and the impact of the cloudiness on the state of the atmosphere. Section 2 deals with the effects of radiative gases, aerosols, and cloud cover on the radiation budget and, thus, on the contemporary climate. In several papers the 1991 Pinatubo eruption effects are discussed. Section 3 focuses on the remote sensing remote observations of atmospheric, oceanic, and biospheric parameters are described and application of visible, infrared, ultraviolet, and microwave portions of the spectrum is proposed. Section 4 reviews the latest developments in radiative transfer calculations, spectroscopy, and other fundamental problems of atmospheric radiation. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
