Radiation in the atmosphere

Solar and thermal radiation is the main driving force of atmospheric circulation and chemistry. In addition, radiation reflected or emitted by the Earth's surface and atmosphere is utilised by remote sensing techniques to derive information about properties of the atmosphere and the surface from observations in space. A profound knowledge of radiation and its interaction with the atmosphere is therefore essential for many fields in atmospheric science.
