TL;DR: A hit-and-miss Monte Carlo geometric ray-tracing program to compute the scattering phase matrix for concentrically stratified spheres shows results that compare closely with those evaluated from the "exact" Lorenz-Mie theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the Tibetan Plateau on the temperature geopotential height, horizontal wind, vertical velocity, cloud and precipitation patterns over eastern Asia is physically investigated employing a general circulation model specifically designed for medium range weather prediction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the utilization of both infrared and microwave sounding channels for the inference of the high and low cloud parameters, and the necessary parameterized equations for IR and microwave radiative transfer have been derived for applications to remote sensing from satellites.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical framework was developed for the computation of polarized radiative transfer involving ice crystal clouds to interpret the polarization pattern observed from space, based on the limited available observations in near infrared window wavelengths, and the reflected linear or full polarization from sunlight can be employed to discriminate between spherical water droplets (water clouds) and nonspherical ice crystals (ice clouds).

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental apparatus to measure the scattering properties of hexagonal icelike particles in the analog manner at the helium neon laser wavelength of 0.633 mm has been designed and built.
