The editors provide, for the first time, an easy path from theory to practical algorithms in one easily accessible volume, making the connection between theoretical radiative transfer and individual practical solutions to retrieve aerosol information from remote sensing, and providing the specifics and intercomparison of all current and historical retrieval methods.Atmospheric aerosolsOptical propertiesAtmospheric aerosolsRemote sensingRadiative transferLenoble, JacquelineRemer, LorraineTanré, Didier.b1410659002-04-1404-04-13991002010469707536LE006 52.9.3 LEN12006000170550le006pE135.19-l- 06060.i1558555421-01-14Aerosol remote sensing264660UNISALENTOle00604-04-13ma -enggw 00
