Abstract

The methods used to calculate the field of thermal radiation in a cloudy or cloudless atmosphere have been described in detail in monographs [7, 11, 22, 24], and in a number of collections and original articles. In this chapter we will present only some of the initial relations and we will describe some of the approximate calculation methods used in practice.
