Reviews
From the reviews:
"Aerosol Optics introduces two important theoretical problems in atmospheric sciences: optical scattering, emphasizing polarization and Fourier optics, and radiative transfer theory related specifically to aerosols in the atmosphere. ... Kokhanovsky ... balances theory, applications, and examples to facilitate understanding complex subjects. ... The instrumental description is adequate for undergraduates studying satellite and groundbased sensing platforms. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty." (G. J. Fochesatto, Choice, Vol. 46 (3), November, 2008)
