Non-LTE Radiative Transfer in the Atmosphere
Lopez-Puertas, Manuel / Taylor, Fredric William
During the last three decades, it has become increasingly clear that atmospheric modelling and remote sounding of the atmosphere from space, to name just two important application areas, are affected by non-equilibrium processes which have not been incorporated into traditional radiative transfer calculations. These processes, dubbed ¿non-LTE¿, are therefore the subject of growing interest among scholars and researchers dealing with the upper ...
