4. Attenuation and overall transmission
The atmosphere plays two roles for optical radiation:
an attenuating role (by absorption and diffusion);
a parasitic source (by diffusion and own emission).
These effects will be analysed later in the section 6 Radiation transfer theory.
Given the different nature of atmospheric...
