Download or read book Transfer of Polarized Light in Planetary Atmospheres written by J.W. Hovenier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal elements of the theory of polarized light transfer in planetary atmospheres are expounded in a systematic but concise way. Basic concepts and practical methods are emphasized, both for single and multiple scattering of electromagnetic radiation by molecules and particles in the atmospheres of planets in the Solar System, including the Earth, and beyond. A large part of the book is also useful for studies of light scattering by particles in comets, the interplanetary and interstellar medium, circumstellar disks, reflection nebulae, water bodies like oceans and suspensions of particles in a gas or liquid in the laboratory. Throughout the book symmetry principles, such as the reciprocity principle and the mirror symmetry principle, are employed. In this way the theory is made more transparent and easier to understand than in most papers on the subject. In addition, significant computational reductions, resulting from symmetry principles, are presented. Hundreds of references to relevant literature are given at the end of the book. Appendices contain supplementary information such as a general exposition on properties of matrices transforming Stokes parameters of light beams. Each chapter concludes with a number of problems with answers or hints for solution. The readers should have some basic knowledge of physics and mathematics. The book is suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. It will also be of interest to science professionals in one of the many disciplines in which electromagnetic scattering plays an important role, like astrophysics, atmospheric optics, remote sensing, marine optics, biophysics and biomedicine.

Download or read book Study of Polarization of Atmospheric Scattered Light Using Monte Carlo Methods written by Dave G. Collins and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of polarization on light scattered within pure Rayleigh and combined Rayleigh and aerosol atmospheres were studied with a modified version of the LITE-II Monte Carlo program. Routines treating both Rayleigh and aerosol scattering in the Monte Carlo procedure were modified in order to be able to compute each of the four Stokes parameters for atmospheric scattered light. The methods used to transform the Stokes parameters through the angle phi between the reference plane and the scattering plane are those given by Chandrasekhar for elliptically polarized light. From the computed values of the Stokes parameters, the degree of polarization of the scattered light intensity is obtained for each of several solid-angle intervals at a given receiver position. LITE-II calculations of the Stokes parameters Q, U, and I and the degree of polarization for Rayleigh atmospheres are compared with values of the same parameters reported by Coulson, Dave, and Sekera. The results of LITE-II calculations for an atmosphere containing aerosol particles are also compared with similar data from calculations reported by Fraser. The results of these comparisons indicated the validity of the methods incorporated for treating polarization due to both Rayleigh and aerosol scattering. (Author).

Download or read book Fundamentals of Atmospheric Radiation written by Craig F. Bohren and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meeting the need for teaching material suitable for students of atmospheric science and courses on atmospheric radiation, this textbook covers the fundamentals of emission, absorption, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation from ultraviolet to infrared and beyond. Much of the contents applies to planetary atmosphere, with graded discussions providing a thorough treatment of subjects, including single scattering by particles at different levels of complexity. The discussion of the simple multiple scattering theory introduces concepts in more advanced theories, such that the more complicated two-stream theory allows readers to progress beyond the pile-of-plates theory. The authors are physicists teaching at the largest meteorology department in the US at Penn State. The problems given in the text come from students, colleagues, and correspondents, and the figures designed especially for this book facilitate comprehension. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of atmospheric science. * Free solutions manual available for lecturers at www.wiley-vch.de/supplements/

Download or read book Polarized Light in Animal Vision written by Gábor Horváth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this volume is two-fold. First, it gathers typical polarization patterns occurring in nature. Second, it surveys the polarization-sensitive ani mals, the physiological mechanisms and biological functions of polarization sensitivity as weIl as the polarization-guided behaviour in animals. The monograph is prepared for biologists, physicists and meteorologists, espe cially for experts of atmospheric optics and animal vision, who wish to under stand and reveal the message hidden in polarization patterns of the optical environment not directly accessible to the human visual system, but measur able by polarimetry and perceived by many animals. Our volume is an attempt to build a bridge between these two physical and biological flelds. In Part I we introduce the reader to the elements of imaging polarimetry. This technique can be efflciently used, e. g. in atmospheric optics, remote sens ing and biology. In Part 11 we deal with typical polarization patterns of the natural optical environment. Sunrise/sunset, clear skies, cloudy skies, moonshine and total solar eclipses all mean quite different illumination conditions, wh ich also affect the spatial distribution and strength of celestial polarization. We pre sent the polarization patterns of the sky and its unpolarized (neutral) points under sunlit, moonlit, clear, cloudy and eclipsed conditions as a function of solar elevation. The polarization pattern of a rainbow is also shown. That part of the spectrum is derived in which perception of skylight polarization is optimal under partly cloudy skies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical phenomenon of light scattering is one of the most studied t- ics in light-matter interaction and, even today, involves some controversial issues. A present focus of interest for many researchers is the possibility of obtaining information about microstructures, for example surface roughness, and the size, shape and optical properties of particles by means of a n- invasive technique such as the illumination of these objects with light. One of their main tasks is to extract the relevant information from a detailed study of the scattered radiation. This includes: measurement of the light intensity in di erent directions, analysis of its polarization, determination of its stat- tics,etc. Contributionstoresolvingthisproblemareimportantnotonlyfrom the point of view of increasing basic knowledge but also in their applications to several elds of industry and technology. Consider, for example, the pos- bility of distinguishing between di erent types of atmospheric contaminants, biological contaminants in our blood, the detection of microdefects in the manufacturing of semiconductors, magnetic discs and optical components, or the development of biological sensors. During the period September 11-13, 1998, we brought together a group of international experts on light scattering at the Summer School of Laredo at the University of Cantabria. In a series of one-hour lectures, they discussed currentaspectsoflightscatteringfrommicrostructureswithspecialemphasis on recent applications. The present book condenses those lectures into ve parts.

Download or read book Tables Related to Light Scattering in a Turbid Atmosphere written by E. DeBary and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tables present the results of computations of the intensity and the degree of polarization of sky radiation and radiation scattered by a unit volume of air containing natural aerosols. The tabulated data are based upon new values of the scattering functions i sub 1 and i sub 2 and the scattering cross sections k, derived using the Mie theory with m = 1.5. In the case of primary scattering of radiation, the results are valid for a turbid atmosphere. The tables of the scattering coefficients and optical thickness, the absolute scattering functions, the intensities, and the degrees of polarization are computed for various wavelengths between 0.4 and 1.2 microns and for discrete scattering angles between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. Aerosol size distributions of the form dn(r) = c.r/-v dlogr, with v = 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0, are assumed. The lower and upper limits for the size range were chosen as r sub 1 = 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08 micron and r sub 2 = 3, 5, and 10 microns respectively. (Author).
