A nonlinear least squares inversion to the single-scattering three-dimensional radiative transfer equation for satellite-based tomography
… cloud and aerosol properties assume the radiative transfer to be one-dimensional (1-D). It has become clear that using 1-D radiative transfer is unsuitable for atmospheres with horizontal heterogeneity, and that algorithms need to be developed to invert satellite measured radiance with …

Global perspectives on the plane-parallel nature of oceanic water clouds using data synergy from MISR and MODIS
… assumption is commonly used for solving radiative transfer problems in weather and climate research. While a plethora of observational and three-dimensional (3-D) radiative transfer simulations have revealed many shortcomings in the application of the plane-parallel assumption, less …

Cloud drop effective radius for trade wind cumuli observed during RICO by aircraft and MODIS
… sub-pixel in size. Due to the 1-D nature of the radiative transfer calculations used in retrieving cloud drop effective radius and cloud optical depth from satellites, systematic errors in the satellite retrievals can be introduced due to the 3-D radiative transfer through heterogeneous clouds …
