Progress in Forward-Inverse Modeling Based on Radiative Transfer Tools for Coupled Atmosphere-Snow/Ice-Ocean Systems: A Review and Description of the AccuRT Model

A tutorial review is provided of forward and inverse radiative transfer in coupled atmosphere-snow/ice-water systems. The coupled system is assumed to consist of two adjacent horizontal slabs separated by an interface across which the refractive index changes abruptly from its value in air to that i...
