Chapter in New Book on 3D Radiative Transfer:
A. Heidinger coauthored a chapter in a recently published book entitled
"3D Radiative Transfer in Cloudy Atmospheres" that was edited by
Alexander Marshak (NASA) and Anthony Davis (Los Alamos National
Lab.). This particular chapter dealt with observational
strategies to assess the effects of 3-dimensional (3D) cloud geometry
on radiative transfer. The work is mainly focused on the
use of hyperspectral measurements within shortwave absorption
bands. A future mission, NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory
(OCO), should allow for application of these theoretical techniques.
