In this book we share our work with those who are faced with the challenging problem of studying the earth's atmosphere and the interactions between the atmosphere and the earth's surface. While there are some excellent books on this topic written from the physical point of view, those discussing the modeling and computational aspects are few and far between. Our book is intended to bridge this gap so that students as well as investigators will be able to understand and apply practical ways of determining solutions. Radiative transfer theory, on which this book is based, is elegant, and great minds have contributed to its richness. Instead of duplicating the clas sical references, we have taken a different approach: We have developed the in variant imbedding approach, both analytically and computationally, because of its attractiveness for producing numerical solutions. Having witnessed the transition to the computer age, we know that a new attitude to mathemati cal formulation is required. The one that we endorse is a model stated in the form of a Cauchy problem: a system of ordinary differential equations with a complete set of initial conditions. We chose this approach because it is well suited to implementation on digital computers.

SHRINKWRAPPED NEW: TERRESTRIAL RADIATIVE TRANSFER: MODELLING, COMPUT. 19898 PB Terrestrial Radiative Transfer: Modeling, Computation, and Data Analysis by Harriet H. Natsuyama (Author), Sueo Ueno (Author), Alan P. Wang (Author) OUR REFERENCE: 112C11-4431702067-PB-1Pt2-lb-Red DESCRIPTION A modern treatment of both direct and inverse problems applicable to the remote sensing of earth from space or from the air. Starting from a physical description of the process, the authors develop innovative mathematical models, fundamental mathematics for the analysis of these models, and methods for obtaining computational solutions. They also include the results of recent research using this approach, such as invariant imbedding techniques, associative memory artificial neural networks, and the automatic evaluation of derivatives. With its coverage of uniform parallel illumination, internal sources, and incident spotlight beams, this book is indispensable for researchers working to reduce the atmospheric distortion of remotely sensed terrestrial images.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The remote sensing of earth from space is a nonlinear problem of estimating physical parameters from measurements. From an analytical point of view, it is a case of radiative transfer in inhomogeneous plane-parallel and spherical media. This book provides a modern treatment of both direct and inverse problems applicable to the remote sensing of earth from space or from the air. Starting from a physical description of the process, the authors develop innovative mathematical models, fundamental mathematics for the analysis of these models, and methods for obtaining computational solutions. Also featured are the results of recent research using this approach. For example, invariant imbedding techniques, associative memory artificial neural networks, and the automatic evaluation of derivatives have been used to solve inverse problems. This book covers uniform parallel illumination, internal sources, and incident spotlight beams, making it indispensable for researchers working to reduce the atmospheric distortion of remotely sensed terrestrial images. This book analyses radiative transfer through the atmosphere. Innovative mathematical models and computational techniques are explained to solve the basic problem of how to interpret data about the earth's surface captured by satellites or aircraft.
