Description for Aerosol Optics
Hardback. Aerosols are small particles that influence both atmospheric visibility and the thermodynamics of the atmosphere. They may also be responsible for the loss of harvests, human health problems and ecological disasters. This text offers experienced students a comprehensive review of techniques for the remote sensing of aerosols. Series: Springer-Praxis Books. Num Pages: 156 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 242 x 170 x 13. Weight in Grams: 465.
Springer/Praxis have a successful mini program of books on various aspects of light scattering, and now have a journal "Light Scattering Review" under consideration proposed by Alex Kokhanovsky. The atmospheric air contains not only gases but also various types of airborne particles (known as aerosols) ranging from dust grains to microbes. These small particles influence atmospheric visibility, the thermodynamics of the atmosphere, and they are also of great importance in any consideration of climate change problems. Aerosols may also be responsible for the loss of harvest, health problems among humans and ecological disasters. Therefore, it is of great importance to ... Read more
