This book is dedicated to the formulation and solution of forward and inverse problems related to coupled media, and provides examples of how to solve concrete problems in environmental remote sensing of coupled atmosphere-surface systems.

The authors discuss radiative transfer in coupled media such as the atmosphere-ocean system with Lambertian as well non-Lambertian reflecting surfaces at the lower boundary. The spectral range from the ultraviolet to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum is considered, as are multi-spectral as well as hyperspectral remote sensing, while solutions of the forward problem for unpolarized and polarized radiation are discussed in detail.

Knut Stamnes is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, and Director of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physic as well as the Light and Life Laboratory at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Stamnes began his career in upper atmospheric physics, and has since specialized in atmospheric radiation, remote sensing, and climate-related studies. He has published more than 175 research papers and one book on radiative transfer in the atmosphere. He is a fellow of OSA, a member of SPIE, and was elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences in 2009. Knut Stamnes earned his B. Sc. and M. Sc. in physics from the University of Oslo, Norway, and his Ph.D. in Astro-Geophysics from the University of Colorado, USA. Jakob J. Stamnes is professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Technology at the University of Bergen, Norway. He has published more than 160 papers on wave propagation, diffraction, and scattering as well as on remote sensing of the atmosphere and ocean and of biological tissue. Jakob J. Stamnes is author of a book and editor of an SPIE book series. He is fellow of the OSA, founding member and fellow of the EOS (European Optical Society), a member of SPIE, and was elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences in 2009. He obtained his M.Sc. degree in applied physics from the Norwegian Technical University, Trondheim, Norway, in 1969 and his Ph.. degree in optics from the University of Rochester, USA, in 1975.
