The text explores concepts ranging from electromagnetic waves and scattering dyads to the fundamentals of the T-Matrix method. Providing recently developed material, this text is sufficient to aid the light scattering science community with current and leading information.

Enriched with detailed research from top field experts, Invariant Imbedding T-matrix Method for Light Scattering by Nonspherical and Inhomogeneous Particles offers a meaningful and essential presentation of methods and applications, with a focus on the light scattering of small and intermediate particles that supports and builds upon the latest studies. Thus, it is a valuable resource for atmospheric researchers and other earth and environmental scientists to expand their knowledge and understanding of available tools.

An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation, Third Edition is a comprehensive look at radiative transfer and its interaction with the atmosphere, which involves multiple processes that occur over a wide range of spatial-temporal scales. Progress has been made on many fronts in this area and new directions of research continues to emerge. The book will have 9 chapters, starting with the fundamentals of radiative transfer in the atmosphere and followed by its interactions with the atmospheric processes.An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation, Third Edition has been extensively revised to address the fundamental study, physical understanding, and quantitative analysis of the interactions of solar and terrestrial radiation with molecules, aerosols, and cloud particles in planetary atmospheres through the theory of radiative transfer and radiometric observations made from the ground, the air, and space. Further, it outlines the scientific foundations that are central to our current understanding of atmospheric radiative transfer and how datasets deduced from satellite remote sensing can be combined with radiation parameterizations in weather and climate models to comprehend radiative transfer interactions, including feedback, with greenhouse gases, cloud, and aerosol.The 3rd edition will include definitions of radiation-related terms, literature review for each topic, recent developments, applications of radiation to remote sensing, and climate and climate change, as well as authors’ points of view and opinions on future research direction in this field. The new edition also includes a new chapter on aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in climate and climate change.In addition, readers will have access to a powerful, state-of-the-art computational code, Fu-Liou-Gu radiation scheme, for simulating radiative transfer processes in the atmosphere. This computational code has been officially included in the widely used community Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), referred to as FLG module, and will be an efficient and excellent educational aid as well as a research tool that can be applied to solve a variety of research problems in atmospheric, climate, and environmental sciences.

Integrating information from several areas of engineering geology, hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering, this book addresses the general field of groundwater from an engineering perspective. It covers geological engineering as well as hydrogeological and environmental geological problems caused by groundwater engineering. It includes 10 chapters, i.e., basic groundwater theory, parameter calculation in hydrogeology, prevention of geological problem caused by groundwater, construction dewatering, wellpoint dewatering methods, dewatering wells and drilling, groundwater dewatering in foundation-pit engineering, groundwater engineering in bedrock areas, numerical simulation in groundwater engineering, groundwater corrosion on concrete and steel. Based on up-to-date literature, it describes recent developments and presents several case studies with examples and problems. It is an essential reference source for industrial and academic researchers working in the groundwater field and canalso serve as lecture-based course material providing fundamental information and practical tools for both senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields of geology engineering, hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering or to conduct related research.
