Principles of Radiative Transfer

Description

Lecture by Marianne Koenig (EUMETSAT) on the phyiscal principles of radiative transfer and remote sensing.

Content

Satellite instruments measure radiation at different wave lengths. To correctly assess the information provided by these measurements, it is essential to know about laws of radiation as well as special characteristics of atmospheric gases. This lecture leads from physical principles to applications such as IASI measurements.
