Springer Series in Light Scattering: Volume 1: Multiple Light Scattering, Radiative Transfer and Remote Sensing

Description

This book presents recent advances in studies of light propagation, scattering, emission and absorption in random media. Many natural and biological media vary randomly in time and space. Examples are terrestrial atmosphere and ocean, biological liquids and tissues to name but a few.
