TL;DR: It is found that to infer leaf biochemical constituents, e.g., N content, from remotely sensed data, BRF spectra in the interval 710–790 nm provide critical information for correction of structural influences, and suggests that surface characteristics of leaves impact remote sensing of its internal constituents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define statistically stationary features in generally non-stationary signals and apply them to a series of recent measurements of liquid water distributions inside marine stratocumulus decks; these are found to be multifractal over scales ranging from approximately 60 m to approximately 60 km.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of 3D radiative transfer in large-scale models and satellite remote sensing of cloud properties, including horizontal fluxes and radiative smoothing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the scale invariance properties of the radiation fields for stratiform clouds whose horizontally fluctuating extinction fields are modeled with multiplicative cascades were investigated. But the results of the analysis were limited to the case where the scale break location TJ is closely related to the characteristic size (p) of the "spot" of multiply scattered light excited by illumination with a narrow beam.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reexamine the empirical evidence for this scale break and explain it using fractal cloud models, Monte Carlo simulations, and a Green function approach to multiple scattering theory.
