The optical theory of light scattering by nonspherical particles is fundamental to remote sensing of the atmosphere and ocean, as well as to other areas of computational physics, astrophysics, the biomedical sciences, and electromagnetics. At present, many training programs in light scattering are woefully lacking. This book fills the void in existing research on light scattering and training, particularly in the case of large scattering particles, and provides a solid foundation on which future research can be based, including suggestions for further directions in the field. With the elucidation of the theoretical basis for light scattering (particularly within the framework of the physical-geometric optics method) and the demonstration of practical applications, this book will be invaluable for training future scientists in the discipline of light scattering, as well as for researchers and professionals using remote-sensing techniques to analyze the properties of the atmosphere and oceans, and in the area of biophotonics.…

About the Author
Jiachen Ding is Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University. His current research is on the theories and computational techniques of light scattering and radiative transfer and their applications in remote sensing and astrophysics.
Masanori Saito is Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science at the University of Wyoming. His research interests include algorithm development of remote sensing techniques for characterizing cloud and aerosol properties from spaceborne and airborne observations.
George W. Kattawar is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. He is an internationally renowned expert in radiative transfer and light scattering dealing with full Mueller matrix/Stokes vector processes. He has received many awards and recognitions, including Fellow of the Optical Society of America; the Nils Gunnar Jerlov Award; and van de Hulst Light Scattering Award. He is a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans and a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Transport Theory and Statistical Physics. He was appointed as Academic Advisor of the Board of Directors of the Texas Academy of Science. He was selected by Applied Optics as one of the fifty most prolific authors in the last fifty years.
