Explores Earth's energy balance, including solar radiation interaction with the atmosphere and surface, blackbody radiation, and atmospheric processes.
Explores atoms and radiation lineshapes, covering linewidths, lifetime broadening, and broadening mechanisms, including Lorentzian and Doppler effects.
Explores emissivity, absorptivity, and reflectivity of surfaces, including spectral and directional properties, laws of reciprocity, and practical examples.
