Optics of Light Scattering Media: Problems and Solutions

By Alexander A. Kokhanovsky

The theory of light scattering by small particles is important to a wide range of applications in astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric physics and optics, ocean and biological optics, and remote sensing. This text covers modern knowledge of the optical properties of media in single and multiple light scattering regimes, such as snow, clouds and aerosols. This work may be used as a handbook by scientists from a range of different fields. It provides tables that summarize analytical solutions of single and multiple scattering problems and also offers hints for solution.
