Linearization of vector radiative transfer by means of the forward-adjoint perturbation theory and its use in atmospheric remote sensing

  • Chapter
Light Scattering Reviews 2

Part of the book series: Springer Praxis Books ((ENVIRONSCI))

Abstract

Aerosols directly affect the Earth’s climate by scattering and absorption of radiation, and indirectly by changing the microphysical properties of clouds. The total effect of aerosols on climate is very uncertain, both in magnitude and even in sign, representing one of the largest uncertainties in climate research. In order to improve our understanding of the effect of aerosols on climate, global measurements are needed of a number of aerosol properties such as size of particles, their refractive index and aerosol optical thickness. The only way to obtain these parameters at a global scale is by means of satellite remote sensing.
