Light Scattering and Radiative Transfer: Basic Research and Applications
Session ID#: 247187
Session Description:
Light scattering and radiative transfer are essential to remote sensing of environment and the quantification of the radiative forcings caused by various atmospheric and oceanic constituents (clouds, aerosols, sediment, phytoplankton particles, etc.). This session provides a forum for the presentations of latest advances in single scattering of electromagnetic waves and radiative transfer. The topics in single scattering include, but not limit to novel theory and models of solving the scattering properties of non-spherical aerosols, hydrosols, and ice crystals. The radiative transfer topics include multiple scattering of electromagnetic wave in different spectrum range, i.e., ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and microwave, 3-D effects, polarization, Â inelastic scattering, spherical shell effects, the use of machine learning and other techniques in expediting radiative transfer simulations, etc.. The applications of fundamental light scattering and radiative transfer theories in active and passive remote sensing applications and in climate science are also within the scope of this session.
