TL;DR: A vector radiative transfer model for coupled atmosphere and ocean systems based on the Successive Order of Scattering (SOS) method has been developed for easy-to-use and computationally efficient as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the version-3 level-2 operational analysis of the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR) data collected in the framework of the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) mission to retrieve cirrus cloud effective diameter and ice water path in synergy with the CALIOP collocated observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined the combined optical depth of aerosol (SODA) and space-borne lidar data to retrieve the optical depths of semitransparent single-layered cirrus clouds.

TL;DR: A vector radiative transfer model that provides the full Stokes vector at arbitrary locations which can be conveniently specified by users to serve the remote sensing community in harvesting physical parameters from multi-platform, multi-sensor measurements that target different components of the atmosphere-oceanic system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the new ocean subsurface optical properties of phytoplankton distribution using remote sensing from Earth-observing satellites, which can provide valuable information about the ocean phyto-stalkton distributions.
