 Scattering, absorption and radiative transfer codes

Scattering, absorption, and radiative transfer are key concepts in various fields including atmospheric science, astrophysics, climatology, and optics. Here’s a brief overview of each concept and the role of codes used to model these phenomena: ### 1. Scattering **Definition**: Scattering refers to the process by which particles deviate from a straight trajectory due to non-uniformities in the medium through which they are traveling.
