Details

The International Radiation Symposium is organized every four years by the International Radiation Commission, part of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS). The goal of the symposium is to provide a venue to present current results about problems in atmospheric radiation and to encourage the exchange of ideas within the international community. The meeting welcomes scientific contributions on all aspects of atmospheric radiation, considering experimental or theoretical approaches organized in sessions such as: radiative transfer theory and modeling, molecular radiative properties, particle radiative properties, general remote sensing, satellite measurements, surface measurements and field experiments, radiation budget and forcing, weather and climate applications, and biosphere-atmosphere interactions influencing the radiation budget.
