4. Attenuation and overall transmission

The atmosphere plays two roles for optical radiation:

  • an attenuating role (by absorption and diffusion);

  • a parasitic source (by diffusion and own emission).

These effects will be analysed later in the section 6 Radiation transfer theory.

Given the different nature...
