Includes bibliographical references and index.
The climate system -- Atmospheric physics and thermodynamics -- Radiation-transfer theory -- Thermal infra-red transfer in the atmosphere -- Incoming solar radiation -- Solar radiation transfer in the atmosphere -- Atmospheric photochemistry -- The Earth's radiation budget -- Theory of radiation measurements -- Climate observations by radiometry-spectrometry -- Climate modelling -- Planetary evolution and comparative climatology.
This book describes the basic physics of solar & infrared radiation in the atmosphere. Radiation theory is related to the development of climate prediction models, & to measurement techniques for monitoring the Earth's energy budget & making remote sensing observations from satellites.
