Radiative transfer and remote sensing

Abstract

Radiative transfer, the basic theoretical tool for the quantitative interpretation of planetary infrared spectra, is discussed. The function it plays in linking the remotely sensed data to the properties of the atmosphere (composition, thermal structure, dynamics, etc.), is inferred. A brief overview of the remote sensing problem as it pertains to the interpretation of planetary spectra is presented. The presentation is tutorial rather than exhaustive.
