Date: August 23-28, 2004
Location: Busan, Korea

The Symposium reviewed the current status of radiative transfer, molecular and aerosol radiative properties, radiation budget, weather and climate applications, and measurements from ground-based stations, balloons, aircraft, and satellites.

The timing of this Symposium was very appropriate as scientists interested in these fields require up-to-date information to advance their research and knowledge. This Symposium acted as a bridge to strengthen the cooperative relationship among relevant organizations.
