Radiative Transfer
Forward Radiative Transfer Problems Plane Parallel Theory 3D Transfer Parameterization K-Distribution Inverse Radiative Transfer Problems Estimation Theory Spectroscopy A-Band Spectral Radiometers The Scanning Spectral Polarimeter is a third generation radiometer that is based on a circular variable filter wheel from 400nm to 4000nm. There are 12 channels, six visible and six Infrared channels. The channels are Spectral Flux, broadband Flux, Spectral NFOV Radiance, Broadband NFOV Radiance, and Spectral linear polarization radiance. The SSP Instrument package has flown on six major flight programs, has been part of the ARM-UAV program, and the SSP is schedualed to fly on two new platforms in 1998/1999. For further information visit the SSP homepage: http://optical.atmos.colostate.edu 3 Dimensional radiative Transfer Modelling We are investigating how cloud absorption varies with spatial resolution of the cloud field, for realistic cloud morphologies. State of the art Monte Carlo simulations are being developed to run on a massively parallel T3E computer. | ||
