Synopsis

The theory of the scattering of light by small particles is very important in a wide range of applications in atmospheric physics and atmospheric optics, ocean optics, remote sensing, astronomy and astrophysics and biological optics. This book summarises current knowledge of the optical properties of single small particles and natural light scattering media such as snow, clouds, foam aerosols etc. The book considers both single and multiple light scattering regimes, together with light scattering and radiative transfer in close-packed media. The third edition incorporates new findings in the area of light scattering media optics in an updated version of the text.

From the Back Cover

 This is the 3rd Edition of "Light Scattering Media Optics". The book has been prepared and updated whilst the author worked at different research institutes in Germany, Japan and Great Britain. His personal experiences include studies in the field of environmental optics, including cloud, snow and aerosol optics. Professor Kokhanvosy has spent 20 years  studying in these areas.
