What must be specified to achieve a valid spectroscopic measurement?
Several factors are described that must be considered when choosing an instrument for spectroscopy: which wavelength range and resolution are appropriate to the type of sample to be measured, how much light is available, how to separate the light, which type of detector to use, etc.

Earth's energy imbalance and implications
Earth is absorbing more energy from the Sun than it is radiating to space as heat, even during the recent solar minimum.

Light Scattering by Pure Water and Seawater: Recent Development
Review of the theory of molecular scattering in liquid and electrolyte solutions. Focus on the recent developments in modeling the effect of pressure, extending to extreme environments, and evaluating the effect of salinity on the depolarization ratio.
