Light scattering in planetary atmospheres
James Hansen,Larry D. Travis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of scattering theory required for analysis of light reflected by planetary atmospheres is presented, which demonstrates the dependence of single-scattered radiation on the physical properties of the scatterers.

Remote sensing of cloud, aerosol, and water vapor properties from the moderate resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS)
TL;DR: The authors describe the status ofMODIS-N and its companion instrument MODIS-T (tilt), a tiltable cross-track scanning spectrometer with 32 uniformly spaced channels between 0.410 and 0.875 mu m, used for determining the total precipitable water vapor and atmospheric stability.

MODTRAN cloud and multiple scattering upgrades with application to AVIRIS
Alexander Berk,Lawrence S. Bernstein,Gail P. Anderson,Prabhat K. Acharya,David C. Robertson,James H. Chetwynd,Steven M. Adler-Golden +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of these upgrades on predictions for AVIRIS viewing scenarios is discussed for both clear and clouded skies; the CK approach provides refined predictions for nadir and near-nadir viewing.

Modeling Surface Solar Irradiance for Satellite Applications on a Global Scale
Rachel T. Pinker,Istvan Laszlo +1 more
TL;DR: An early version of a physical model was modified and expanded to derive surface solar irradiance from satellite observations as mentioned in this paper, which can produce both direct and diffuse spectral components in the 0.2-4.0-micron interval.
