PyARTS was a python package, which had been developed to compliment the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator - ARTS. Its successor is the Typhon package (see above).

Single Scattering Databases. The databases contain single scattering data of ice particles that has been calculated using the discrete dipole approximation method (DDA).

In this paper two general purpose tools for sol-ving atmospheric radiative transfer problems are described. The first, Streamer, is.

Two tools for the solution of radiative transfer problems are presented. Streamer is a flexible medium spectral resolution radiative transfer model based on the plane-parallel theory of radiative. Streamer and FluxNet are tools for the solution of a wide variety of radiative transfer problems.

Streamer is a flexible and customizable general-purpose radiative-transfer model. It allows for the computation of both irradiances and radiances and is therefore suitable for the simulation of some satellite signals and the study of radiative heat budgets in the atmosphere or at the by: Tools for atmospheric radiative transfer: Streamer and FluxNet.

The principal tool used to simulate these observations is an atmospheric radiative transfer model, so-called because it solves the fundamental equation of radiative transfer through the atmosphere.

These models require high quality spectroscopic data for all molecules absorbing and emitting in the atmosphere.

Exact analytical (i.e., pencil and paper) solutions of the SRTE can be obtained only for very simple situations, such as no scattering. Not only enables readers to include radiation as part of their design and analysis but also appreciate the radiative transfer processes in both nature and engineering systems.

Offers two distinguishing features--a whole chapter devoted to the classical dispersion theory which lays a foundation for the discussion of radiative properties presented throughout and a detailed description of 5/5(2).

Introduction to microwave radiative transfer May By Peter Bauer European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Abstract The following text gives a brief overview of microwave radiative transfer in atmospheres covering the principles of radiative transfer in an absorbing and scattering atmosphere including surface reflection and emission.

Radiative Energy Transfer presents the proceedings of the symposium on interdisciplinary aspects of radiative energy transfer held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on FebruaryThe book includes topics on the two main classical directions of radiative transfer: diagnostic techniques and energy exchanges.

The third edition of Radiative Heat Transfer describes the basic physics of radiation heat transfer. The book provides models, methodologies, and calculations essential in solving research problems in a variety of industries, including solar and nuclear energy, nanotechnology, biomedical, and environmental.

Indeed, the "greenhouse effect", as applied to the earth's atmosphere, is a radiative process sum-marizing the absorption and emission of terrestrial radiation by gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane.

In this paper two general purpose tools for solving atmospheric radiative transfer problems are described. Stamnes began his career in upper atmospheric physics, and has since specialized in atmospheric radiation, remote sensing, and climate-related studies.

He has published more than research papers, and is the co-author of Radiative Transfer in the Atmosphere and Ocean (Cambridge University Press, ).

In addition, the reader has access to a powerful, state-of-the-art computational code for simulating radiative transfer processes in coupled atmosphere-water systems including snow and ice.
