SCIATRAN is a comprehensive software package for the modeling of radiative transfer
processes in the terrestrial atmosphere and ocean in the spectral range from the ultraviolet …

A discrete random medium is an object in the form of a finite volume of a vacuum or a
homogeneous material medium filled with quasi-randomly and quasi-uniformly distributed …

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 …

Uncertainties in the retrieval of the remote sensing reflectance, Rrs, from Ocean Color (OC)
satellite sensors have a strong impact on the performance of algorithms for the estimation of …

The polarization state of electromagnetic radiation scattered by atmospheric particles such
as aerosols, cloud droplets, or ice crystals contains much more information about the optical …

The review of optical instrumentation, forward modeling, and inverse problem solution for
the polarimetric aerosol remote sensing from space is presented. The special emphasis is …

We present five new variance reduction techniques applicable to Monte Carlo simulations of
radiative transfer in the atmosphere: detector directional importance sampling, n-tuple local …

The presence of melt ponds on the Arctic sea ice strongly affects the energy balance of the
Arctic Ocean in summer. It affects albedo as well as transmittance through the sea ice, which …

The research frontiers of radiative transfer (RT) in coupled atmosphere-ocean systems are
explored to enable new science and specifically to support the upcoming Plankton, Aerosol …

Remote sensing of aerosol from space is a challenging and typically underdetermined
retrieval task, requiring many assumptions to be made with respect to the aerosol and …
