The transfer of electromagnetic radiation in the turbulent atmosphere
Abstract
The principle properties of the terrestrial atmosphere are reviewed up to an altitude of about 50 km, with inclusion of general principles of theoretical models for the calculation of its motion fields. This is followed by a description of the transfer of electromagnetic radiation in the turbulent atmosphere and a brief outline of the general radiative transfer theory.
