Short-Wave Solar Radiation in the Earth's Atmosphere Calculation, Observation, Interpretation

Based on data from an experiment which ran for ten years, this book summarizes the results of the Atmospheric Physics Department of the St. Petersburg University and the Main Geophysical Observatory. The processed data now forms a rich dataset of spectral values of radiative characteristics under di...
