RAYLEIGH-CABANNES SCATTERING IN PLANETARY-ATMOSPHERES .2. CONSTANT INTERNAL SOURCES IN NONCONSERVATIVE ATMOSPHERES

The vector equation of radiative transfer is solved for non-conservative homogeneous plane-parallel atmosphere using the method of discrete ordinates. The scattering processes in the atmosphere bounded by a Lambert bottom are described by the Rayleigh-Cabannes phase matrix. The primary radiation field is generated by constant internal sources. A package of FORTRAN subroutines is compiled to find the axial radiation field for such an atmosphere at arbitrary optical depth. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
