Atmospheric Radiative Transfer and Remote Sensing Tools

Remote sensing researchers use radiative transfer modeling to interpret satellite data for studying Earth’s atmospheric and surface properties. The field plays a key role in how scientists understand many aspects of our rapidly changing planet – from climate change and pollution to the carbon and water cycles. Astronomers use radiative transfer to study the atmospheres of stars and substellar objects such as brown dwarfs and exoplanets.
