A comprehensive survey of the oceans of the world reveals the diverse geology of the ocean floor as well as the vast complexity of oceanic life, in a visual resource that includes two hundred full-color photographs, satellite images, diagrams, and cutting-edge maps, along with timely commentary on new exploration technologies, global warming, and more. 15,000 first printing.

The book describes the theoretical fundamentals of atmospheric optics as a science of propagation, transformation and generation of electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere from ultraviolet to microwave radiation. The main characteristics of the planets of the solar system and their atmospheres are given. The equation of the transfer of radiation in different spectral ranges, absorption of radiation by atmospheric gases and aerosol,molecular, aerosol and other types of nonresonant scattering , atmospheric refraction, reflection of radiation from the surface, and glow of the atmosphere are discussed. Methods of calculating radiation for the solar and thermal range of the spectrum are outlined. Problems of radiation energetics and remote probing of the atmosphere are discussed. 1.
