Spectroscopy
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009119
The study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength or frequency. It involves analyzing the absorption, emission, or scattering of light by atoms and molecules to determine their composition, structure, and physical properties. In atmospheric science, spectroscopy is a primary technique for remote sensing of atmospheric gases, aerosols, and temperature profiles.
