TL;DR: An advanced, thoroughly documented, and quite general purpose discrete ordinate algorithm for time-independent transfer calculations in vertically inhomogeneous, nonisothermal, plane-parallel media for Atmospheric applications ranging from the UV to the radar region of the electromagnetic spectrum is summarized.

TL;DR: The Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project as discussed by the authors collected ocean, ice, and atmospheric datasets over a full annual cycle that could be used to understand the processes controlling surface heat exchanges.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a primer on radiative transfer: absorption and scattering opacity, Stokes parameters, Poincare sphere, and the Mueller matrix, as well as the principle of reciprocity for the bidirectional reflectance.

TL;DR: Seven models for computing underwater radiances and irradiances by numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation are compared and provide consistent output, with errors in computed irradiances that are seldom larger, and are usually smaller, than the experimental errors made in measuring irradiances when using current oceanographic instrumentation.
