Part II
Chapters 11–14 consider different methods of the transfer theory for calculating
radiative characteristics for models of cloudy and clear atmosphere: asymptotic
formulas, Eddington formulas, Monte-Carlo approach, and single scattering approach. Specific features of every method are detailed outlined together with their
exactness for different atmospheric models and geometry of illumination.
Chapter 15 contains peculiarities of anisotropic reflection from surface on the
example of waved water surface. Different types of reflection form are considered.
It is proposed to study the dependency of brightness coefficients on solar elevation
and wind velocity and plot 3-D graphics for presenting brightness maximum and
wideness of sunlight patches as functions of mentioned factors.
Chapter 16 considers the calculation and analysis of spectral distribution of the
coefficient of diffuse reflection of solar radiation of the water column in deep and
shallow basins.
Chapter 17 is devoted to calculation and analysis of variety of radiometric color
characteristics of natural water applying to basins with high space heterogeneity of
hydro-optical properties.
Chapter 18 contains the approach of the retrieval concentrations of optically
active components of natural water from spectral distribution of the coefficient of
diffuse reflection of solar radiation below water surface in problems of environment
remote sensing.
The book contains the set of optical parameters corresponding to simple atmospheric and surface models, which could be useful for first approximation estimating of interaction of the Environments and electro-magnetic radiation.
