Compare Optics Of The Moon by Yuriy Shkuratov, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Optics of the Moonpresents methods for interpreting optics of surfaces on the Moon with complicated structures. For example, the book illustrates how phase-ratio techniques can lead to the detection of surface structure anomalies, describes polarimetric studies of the lunar surface and their use, and addresses many other questions relating to the regolith-like surfaces of the Moon, such as why the Moon looks like a ball at a large phase angle and like a disk in full moon, why the lunar surface has slight color variations, and why at large phase angles its polarization degree closely correlates with albedo. Includes case studies, maps and color figures to illustrate concepts with specific application to the moonPresents theories alongside experimental and observational data to support and describe modern techniquesCommunicates new approaches and methods related to the optics of surfaces on the Moon with complicated structures | Optics Of The Moon by Yuriy Shkuratov, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
