Modern analytical methods in radiative transfer are used to solve practical problems of modern atmospheric physics related to solar light interaction with the atmosphere, and remote sensing of clouds and clear sky. They provide a better understanding of the physics involved.

Alexander Kokhanovsky is Leader of the Cloud Remote Sensing Group at the Institute of Environmental Physics and Remote Sensing of the University of Bremen. He has authored over 150 scientific publications and is the author or editor of four books. Vijay Natraj, PhD, is a scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology (JPL). His research focuses on polarization, aerosol and cloud modeling, fast radiative transfer computations, and information theoretical analysis. Dmitry Efremenko, PhD, is scientist at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). His research is focused on remote sensing of atmospheric processes.
