A New Three–Dimensional Vector Radiative Transfer Model and Applications to Saharan Dust Fields

In this thesis a new three–dimensional (3D) vector radiative transfer model, the Solver for Polarized Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Applications (SPARTA) is introduced, validated against benchmark results, and applied to scientific problems. SPARTA employs the statistical forward Monte Carlo techni...
