The contribution and weighting functions of radiative transfer – theory and application to the retrieval of upper-tropospheric humidity
Several interesting problems in remote sensing can be traced back to the question of the origin along the line of sight of the registered photons. In this paper we revive old concepts that directly follow from the equation of radiative transfer, namely the contribution and weighting functions. We gi...
