Microphysics and geometry of snow surfaces -- Chapter 2. Local optical properties of snow layers -- Chapter 3. Properties of solar light reflected from snow -- Chapter 4. Snow remote sensing.This book is the first book of its kind, focusing exclusively on the optical properties of snow. As a complex and turbid medium, snow is approached as a strongly light-scattering (in the visible spectrum) medium with large, nonspherical ice grains. The book discusses both experimental and theoretical results, as well as the remote sensing of snow using ground-based, airborne and satellite optical instrumentation. The book will be of particular importance for researchers studying snow characteristics (the size of grains, snow pollution and albedo) using various remote-sensing techniques.PhysicsAstronomyLasersGeographic information systemsEcologyEnvironmental sciencesPhysics and AstronomyLaserGeographical Information SystemEnvironmental SciencesEnvironmental PhysicsPhysics.Astronomy.Lasers.Geographic information systems.Ecology.Environmental sciences.Physics and Astronomy.Laser.Geographical Information System.Environmental Sciences.Environmental Physics.500Kokhanovsky Alexanderauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1067490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911002556803321Snow Optics4286325UNINA
