Electromagnetic theory
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005322
A framework describing the interaction between electric and magnetic fields and their propagation through space as electromagnetic waves. This theory unifies electricity, magnetism, and light, explaining phenomena such as radiation, absorption, and scattering within the atmosphere. It forms the basis for understanding remote sensing techniques, including radar and satellite observations of atmospheric conditions.
