Radiative transfer in the oxygen A-band and its application to cloud remote sensing

Detection of clouds and retrieval of their properties (top and bottom altitude, optical thickness) with satellite-based spectrometers needs the solution of radiative transfer in the atmosphere. Depending on the application needed for and instrument capabilities, a trade-off choice has to be made bet...
