Transport of Infrared Atmospheric Radiation by Boris M. Smirnov Pdf

This book sets out to give a rigorous mathematical description of the greenhouse effect through the theory of infrared atmospheric emission. In contrast to traditional climatological analysis, this approach eschews empirical relations in favour of a strict thermodynamical derivation, based on data from NASA and from the HITRAN spectroscopy database. The results highlight new aspects of the role of clouds in the greenhouse effect.

Atmospheric Radiation: Theoretical Basis by R. M. Goody,Y. L. Yung Pdf

A complete revision of Goody's classic 1964 work, this volume offers a systematic discussion of atmospheric radiation processes that today are at the center of worldwide study and concern. It deals with the ways in which incident solar radiation is transformed into scattered and thermal radiation, and the thermodynamic consequences for the Earth's gaseous envelope, identifying aspects of the interaction between radiation and atmospheric motions as the central theme for atmospheric radiation studies. As a complete treatment of physical and mathematical foundations, the text assumes no prior knowledge of atmospheric physics. The theoretical discussion is systematic, and can therefore be applied with minor extension to any planetary atmosphere.

Atmospheric Radiative Transfer by Jacqueline Lenoble Pdf

This book presents the basis of atmospheric radiative transfer for graduate students, as well as for scientists or engineers who want to start work in this domain. It supposes that the reader has reached a general college level in mathematics & physics. The first part covers the theory of radiative energy transfer & is of interest for a larger audience than only the atmospheric scientists. After carefully defining the various quantities characterizing radiation energy & its interaction with matter, the equation of radiative transfer is established & the laws of blackbody emission reviewed. One chapter presents the detection of radiative energy. The next chapters review the problems of quantitative spectroscopy & the transfer of energy in an absorbing & emitting medium. Finally, the laws of scattering are presented & the transfer of radiation in a scattering medium, including polarization, is analyzed.

Global Energetics of the Atmosphere by Boris M. Smirnov Pdf

This book looks at global atmospheric processes from a physical standpoint using available current and past observational data taken from measurements of relevant atmospheric parameters. It describes various aspects of the current atmospheric state and its future evolution, focusing primarily on the energetic balance of the Earth and atmosphere, and taking into consideration the multi-faceted global equilibrium between these two systems, carbon, and water. The analysis presented in this book restricts itself to those objects and processes that allow us to obtain reliable conclusions and numerical estimations, in contrast to current climate models with much larger numbers of parameters for describing the same problems. As a result, in spite of the roughness of numerical parameters, the book unveils a reliable and transparent physical picture of energetic phenomena in the global atmosphere. In particular, it shows that approximately only one-fourth of atmospheric water returns from the atmosphere to the Earth in the form of free molecules. It was shown that the contemporary warming of our planet has an anthropogenic character, and that the average global temperature increases due to an increase of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 molecules, via an increase in atmospheric moisture, as well as an increase in the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere. Accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide plays a subsidiary role in this process and gives approximately one-third in a change of the global temperature, while an increase in the amount of atmospheric water by as little as only 0.3% per year explains the observed warming of the Earth. The book shows how the greenhouse instability of the atmosphere evidently has its origins in the Eocene epoch, presenting an analysis of the influence of various types of global energetic processes on the climate that differs from the official stance on these problems.

Interactions by Anders Bengtsson Pdf

This book is an introduction to the theory of interacting higher spin gauge fields. It describes in a pedagogical way the methods used, and the results obtained, within the three major approaches to the subject: the Dirac light-front theory, the Fronsdal covariant approach and the Vasiliev AdS theory. Abstract concepts and methods unifying the various appproaches are pointed out. The book follows the ideas behind the first volume; explains the mathematical concepts and tools used, while also reviewing the history of the subject.

Atmospheric Infrared Radiation Over the Antarctic by Peter M. Kuhn Pdf

The total thermal radiative power exchange at the atmosphere-earth interface and within the atmosphere is a direct measure of energy (power) available to drive the "heat engine" that circulates the atmosphere. In view of this, its implication in meteorological analysis is vital for the approach to a full solution of atmospheric circulation. The lack of a sufficient number of surface and upper air thermal radiation soundings prompted the development of the radiometersonde, a low-cost balloon-borne radiometer. This instrument, flown as part of a standard radiosonde ascent, separately measure upward, downward, and net thermal radiation. A summary and analysis of 400 out of 2,000 Antarctic radiometersonde ascents gives 40,000 individual measurements of net, upward, and downward thermal radiation. The average stratospheric net outward radiation for Pole Station in the dark season is 0.145 ly/min, and that for Byrd Station is 0.210 ly/min. The standard deviation about the average for Pole Station is 0.039, and for Byrd Station is 0.005 ly/min.

Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Science by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Physics and Astronomy,Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences Pdf

This book responds to the call for a clear description of the role of basic science in meeting societal needs. It gives examples of societal benefits of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) science in a number of key areas, including industrial technology, information technology, energy, global change, defense, health and medical technology, space technology, and transportation. This volume highlights the role of lasers in trapping, cooling, and manipulating individual atoms and molecules to make possible ultraprecise atomic clocks, structural engineering at the atomic level (nanotechnology), and new approaches to the study of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). AMO science is shown to be a field that is both an intellectually important basic science and a powerful enabling science that supports many other areas of science and technology.
