Book Synopsis Short-Wave Solar Radiation in the Earth's Atmosphere by : Irina N. Melnikova
Download or read book Short-Wave Solar Radiation in the Earth's Atmosphere written by Irina N. Melnikova. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on data from an experiment which ran for ten years, this book summarizes the results of the Atmospheric Physics Department of the St. Petersburg University and the Main Geophysical Observatory. The processed data now forms a rich dataset of spectral values of radiative characteristics under different atmospheric conditions. The analysis of this database clearly shows that the solar radiative absorption in a dusty and cloudy atmosphere is significantly higher than assumed to date. Both graduate students of atmospheric sciences as well as scientists and researchers in the field of meteorology and climatology will find a wealth of new data and information in this monograph.
