Book Description
A complete revision of Goody's classic 1964 work, this volume offers a systematic discussion of atmospheric radiation processes that today are at the center of worldwide study and concern. It deals with the ways in which incident solar radiation is transformed into scattered and thermal radiation, and the thermodynamic consequences for the Earth's gaseous envelope, identifying aspects of the interaction between radiation and atmospheric motions as the central theme for atmospheric radiation studies. As a complete treatment of physical and mathematical foundations, the text assumes no prior knowledge of atmospheric physics. The theoretical discussion is systematic, and can therefore be applied with minor extension to any planetary atmosphere.

Book Description
Shelving Guide: Electrical Engineering In 1900 the great German theoretical physicist Max Planck formulated a correct mathematical description of blackbody radiation. Today, understanding the behavior of a blackbody is of importance to many fields including thermal and infrared systems engineering, pyrometry, astronomy, meteorology, and illumination. This book gives an account of the development of Planck’s equation together with many of the other functions closely related to it. Particular attention is paid to the computational aspects employed in the evaluation of these functions together with the various aids developed to facilitate such calculations. The book is divided into three sections. Section I – Thermal radiation and the blackbody problem are introduced and discussed. Early developments made by experimentalists and theoreticians are examined as they strove to understand the problem of the blackbody. Section II – The development of Planck’s equation is explained as are the all-important fractional functions of the first and second kinds which result when Planck’s equation is integrated between finite limits. A number of theoretical developments are discussed that stem directly from Planck’s law, as are the various computational matters that arise when numerical evaluation is required. Basic elements of radiometry that tie together and use many of the theoretical and computational ideas developed is also presented. Section III – A comprehensive account of the various computational aids such as tables, nomograms, graphs, and radiation slide rules devised and used by generations of scientists and engineers when working with blackbody radiation are presented as are more recent aids utilizing computers and digital devices for real-time computations. Scientists and engineers working in fields utilizing blackbody sources will find this book to be a valuable guide in understanding many of the computational aspects and nuances associated with Planck’s equation and its other closely related functions. With over 700 references, it provides an excellent research resource.

Book Description
This report presents a description and detailed analysis of a technique for inferring atmospheric ozone information from satellite nadir measurements in the 1042 cm−1 band. A method is formulated for computing the emission from the lower boundary under the satellite which circumvents the difficult analytical problems caused by the presence of atmospheric clouds and the water-vapor continuum absorption. The inversion equations are expanded in terms of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a least-squares-solution matrix, and an analysis is performed to determine the information content of the radiance measurements. The results show that under favorable conditions there are only two pieces of independent information available from the measurements: the total ozone u and the altitude hm of the primary maximum in the ozone profile. An error analysis shows that errors in u are affected most by random radiance noise, lower boundary temperature errors, and ozone absorption-line intensity errors. Errors in hm are affected most by the former two errors and also by temperature-profile bias errors. The results when all errors are considered simultaneously indicate that it should ultimately be possible to determine u to within 10 percent or less and to determine hm to within 1.5 km when the root-mean-square radiance noise level is 1 percent or less. The calculations are also made for various degrees of cloudiness in the troposphere. The data show that the presence of clouds does not seriously affect results as long as there is some contrast between the ozone spectrum and the lower boundary emission spectrum. Finally, the inversion technique is applied to radiances measured from a balloon over Palestine, Texas, and to Nimbus III satellite data measured over the Bahama Islands.
