Transmittance and optical depth
{"Image DocumentName": "Transmittance and optical depth", "Image ImageDescription": "The extinction coefficient can be expressed as the sum of an. absorption coefficient, ka, and a scattering coefficient, ks, and we. can say that a radiation field transported by a medium will. experience a reduction of the radiance due to absorption and. scattering by the medium. In a planetary atmosphere we are often confronted by the case. when there is only absorption. However, scattering can occur in. presence of aerosols and clouds.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
