A Revised Underwater Image Formation Model (2018, background): “In contrast to the atmosphere, absorption in the ocean is generally not negligible compared to scattering [22]; e.”
A review of the light scattering properties of cirrus (2009, background): “This means that the characteristic size, De, which defines the single-scattering properties, is itself a fundamental quantity that describes light extinction in clouds [76,77].”
The operational cloud retrieval algorithms from TROPOMI on board Sentinel-5 Precursor (2017, methodology): “The probability of a photon scattering in the forward direction is larger when a light beam at NIR wavelengths interacts with a cloud droplet with effective radius of a few microns, and thus the phase functions of water clouds can be well modelled by Mie theory (Kokhanovsky, 2004).”
Optimal 3D-Trajectory Design and Resource Allocation for Solar-Powered UAV Communication Systems (2018, background): “In particular, the intensity of solar energy decreases significantly if the light passes through clouds resulting in a reduced received solar energy flux at the solar panel [14], [15].”
