Knowledge about the transfer of solar and terrestrial radiation in the atmosphere is critical to understanding the radiative energy budget and current and future climates, says Wendisch (meteorology, U. of Liepzig, Germany) and Yang (atmospheric sciences, Texas A&M U.), and also plays a vital role in atmospheric remote sensing. They introduce and illustrate the governing equations of atmospheric radiative transfer, comprehensively surveying all of the physical processes relevant to the single-scattering and multiple-scattering absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere. The material is suitable for a one-semester course for students who have completed two years of college physics and mathematics courses. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Aimed at the senior undergraduate and graduate level, this textbook fills the gap between general introductory texts offering little detail and very technical, advanced books written for mathematicians and theorists rather than experimentalists in the field.
The result is a concise course in atmospheric radiative processes, tailored for one semester. The authors are accomplished researchers who know how to reach their intended audience and provide here the content needed to understand climate warming and remote sensing for pollution measurement. They also include supplementary reading for planet scientists and problems.
Equally suitable reading for geophysicists, physical chemists, astronomers, environmental chemists and spectroscopists.
A solutions manual for lecturers will be provided on www.wiley-vch.de/supplements.

Arvustused

My first impression of Wendisch and Yangs new is that the authors did a very good job of organizing a wide range of material, some of which is quite advanced, and presenting it in a compact package.  (American  Meteorological Society, 1 June 2014)
