The theory of light scattering by small particles is important to a wide range of applications in astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric physics and optics, ocean and biological optics, and remote sensing. This text covers modern knowledge of the optical properties of media in single and multiple light scattering regimes, such as snow, clouds and aerosols. This work may be used as a handbook by scientists from a range of different fields. It provides tables that summarize analytical solutions of single and multiple scattering problems and also offers hints for solution.

5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Optics of Light Scattering Media: Problems and Solutions (Hardcover)
I think this is excellent book for those who want to have an understanding of complicated, but marvelously beautiful world of optics. The book is vast on questions considered - from relatively simple geometric optics to extremely difficult radiative transfer equations and multi-layered particle optics, from bio-optics to planetary optics and remote sensing problems. The book has written on the clear simple English and following from audibly described theory to engineering formulae and references on programming codes. I know that now the second Edition of this book is in preparing. I urgently recommend to read this book to beginning students-optics and professionals dealing with optical methods in their practice.
