About

Atmospheric radiation is a field of study within atmospheric physics and climatology that investigates the transfer of electromagnetic radiation through the Earth's atmosphere. This research examines the sources of radiation (primarily solar and terrestrial), its interactions with atmospheric constituents (gases, aerosols, clouds) through processes like absorption, scattering, and emission, and the resulting radiative energy budget. Understanding atmospheric radiation is fundamental for quantifying the planet's energy balance, modeling climate processes, and interpreting remote sensing data.
