An overview is given over some of the most widely used numerical techniques for solving
the electromagnetic scattering problem that start from rigorous electromagnetic theory. In …

Passive ocean color images have provided a sustained synoptic view of the distribution of
ocean optical properties and color and biogeochemical parameters for the past 20-plus …

libRadtran is a widely used software package for radiative transfer calculations. It allows one
to compute (polarized) radiances, irradiance, and actinic fluxes in the solar and thermal …

Volcanic ash is often neglected in climate simulations because ash particles are assumed to
have a short atmospheric lifetime, and to not participate in sulfur chemistry. After the Mt …

We describe a new vector discrete ordinate radiative transfer model with a full linearization
facility. The VLIDORT model is designed to generate simultaneous output of Stokes vector …

We describe a methodology to investigate the potential of given microalgae species for
biodiesel production by characterizing their productivity in terms of both biomass and lipids …

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem acquired about 26,000 images of the Jupiter
system as the spacecraft encountered the giant planet en route to Saturn. We report findings …

We present measured scattering matrices as functions of the scattering angle in the range 5°–
173° and at wavelengths of 441.6 nm and 632.8 nm for seven distinct irregularly shaped …

General equations are derived for computing the amplitude matrix for a nonspherical particle
in an arbitrary orientation and for arbitrary illumination and scattering directions with respect …

We describe a simple and highly efficient and accurate radiative transfer technique for
computing bidirectional reflectance of a macroscopically flat scattering layer composed of …
