Numerically stable algorithm for discrete-ordinate-method radiative transfer in multiple scattering and emitting layered media.
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.

Narrowband to broadband conversions of land surface albedo I Algorithms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied an approach that decouples surface reflectance spectra from the real-time radiative transfer simulations to calculate the total shortwave albedo, total-, direct-, and diffuse-visible, and near-infrared broadband albedos for several narrowband sensors.

Towards Aerosol Light-Absorption Measurements with a 7-Wavelength Aethalometer: Evaluation with a Photoacoustic Instrument and 3-Wavelength Nephelometer
TL;DR: In this paper, a model-based calibration scheme for the 7-wavelength aethalometer was developed to evaluate the filter loading effect caused by aerosol light absorption, and the model is tested against ambient measurements and is found to require coefficients that are situation specific.
