Therefore, their radiative properties must be understood in great detail. This book summarizes current knowledge on cloud optical properties, for example their ability to absorb, transmit, and reflect light, which depends on the clouds' geometrical and microphysical characteristics such as sizes of droplets and crystals, their shapes, and structures. In addition, problems related to the image transfer through clouds and cloud remote sensing are addressed in this book in great detail. This book can be an important source of information on theoretical cloud optics for cloud physicists, meteorologists and optical engineers. All basic ideas of optics as related to scattering of light in clouds (e.g. Mie theory and radiative transfer) are considered in a self consistent way. Consequently, the book can also be a useful textbook to newcomers to the field. 0aGEOGRAPHY. 0aMETEOROLOGY.14aEARTH SCIENCES.24aMETEOROLOGY/CLIMATOLOGY.24aOPTICS, OPTOELECTRONICS, PLASMONICS AND OPTICAL DEVICES.24aSTATISTICAL PHYSICS, DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND COMPLEXITY.24aLASER TECHNOLOGY, PHOTONICS.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402039553 0aAtmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library,x1383-8601 ;v3440uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-4020-2zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY  aZDB-2-EES  2ddccER  c36624d36624  00102ddc40708LEaCICYbCICYcELd2025-10-06l0r2025-10-06 08:45:03w2025-10-06yER
