AT 721 -- Advanced topics in Radiative Transfer

Instructor: Professor Chris O'Dell (odell@atmos.colostate.edu)

Spring 2014 Meetings: MW 1-2:15pm, ACRC 212


Course Objective - To introduce the students to the concepts of forward and inverse modeling with a particular focus on remote sensing applications. The students will gain practical ability to create their own forward models for realistic atmospheric sensing instruments, as well as use them in both sensitivity studies and retrieval applications. The inverse modeling component will focus on atmospheric remote sensing methods, in particular optimal estimation.
