Journal ArticleDOI
An introduction to atmospheric radiation
Kuo-Nan Liou,Craig F. Bohren +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles of radiative transfer in the Earth's atmosphere are discussed, including thermal infrared radiation transfer and light scattering by atmospheric particulates, and the application of radiative transfer principles to remote sensing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Cirrus Clouds on Weather and Climate Processes: A Global Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and documented the current understanding and knowledge of the composition and structure of cirrus clouds and the radiative properties of clouds as they relate to weather and climate processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameterization of the Radiative Properties of Cirrus Clouds
Qiang Fu,Kuo-Nan Liou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for parameterization of the broadband solar and infrared radiative properties of ice clouds has been developed, which integrates in a coherent manner the δ-four-stream approximation for radiative transfer, the correlated k-distribution method for nongray gaseous absorption, and the scattering and absorption properties of hexagonal ice crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the correlated k-distribution method for radiative transfer in nonhomogeneous atmospheres
Qiang Fu,Kuo-Nan Liou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlated k(absorption coefficient)-distribution (CKD) method for radiative transfer in nonhomogeneous atmospheres, in terms of the physical and mathematical conditions under which this method is valid is discussed.
