Inversion Methods in Atmospheric Remote Sounding contains the technical proceedings of the First International Interactive Workshop on Inversion Methods in Atmospheric Remote Sounding, held in Williamsburg, Virginia, on December 15-17, 1976. The papers review the state of the art in inversion methods used in retrieving information about the atmosphere from remotely sensed data. The mathematical theory of inversion methods is described, together with the application of these methods to the remote sounding of atmospheric temperature, relative humidity, and gaseous and aerosol constituents. Comprised of 21 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to methods for solving problems in radiat...
In this book we share our work with those who are faced with the challenging problem of studying the earth's atmosphere and the interactions between the atmosphere and the earth's surface. While there are some excellent books on this topic written from the physical point of view, those discussing the modeling and computational aspects are few and far between. Our book is intended to bridge this gap so that students as well as investigators will be able to understand and apply practical ways of determining solutions. Radiative transfer theory, on which this book is based, is elegant, and great minds have contributed to its richness. Instead of duplicating the clas sical references, we have ta...
Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was prepared by an international team of over 300 scientists, experts, and knowledgeable members of indigenous communities, and is the most comprehensive volume on Arctic climate change available. Illustrated in full color throughout.

Comprehensive overview of research on clouds and their role in our present and future climate, for advanced students and researchers.
In the selected works of Yale Mintz, he & his colleagues analyze & treat crucial problems in large scale atmospheric & oceanic circulation. The simulation of meteorological processes, largely using general circulation models, was put on a sound physical basis. These studies contributed significantly to improving our understanding of the processes that govern our climate. The topics range from observation studies of atmospheric momentum fluxes to the influence of surface moisture on precipitation, & include studies of the atmospheres of Mars & Venus. Some of these works are not easily available because they date back to the early fifties. The book is of interest to students & researchers alike.
This book deals with the principles of calibrating the instruments that are used to measure the various forms of reflected & internally generated terrestrial radiation over the larger part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The author deals with the concepts & sources of solar & terrestrial radiation, types of sensors & sensor arrays, sensor mounting systems & their relation to the types of satellite orbits, global integrated calibration systems, accuracy requirements & ground-based & real-time calibration techniques. A great deal of responsibility is placed on the personnel who calibrate the sensors. It is for these people the book has been written--scientists & engineers, as well as advanced level students who will be working with remote sensing radiometric calibration systems & the system engineering of sensor signal output accuracy.

This comprehensive volume is the first to consider biomass burning as a global phenomenon and to assess its impact on the atmosphere, on climate, and on the biosphere itself.
