Abstract: | The vector equation of radiative transfer is solved both for conservative and non-conservative planetary atmospheres using the method of discrete ordinates. The atmosphere, bounded by a Lambert bottom, is considered plane-parallel and homogeneous. The scattering in the atmosphere obeys the Rayleigh or Rayleigh-Cabannes law. The compiled package of FORTRAN codes allows us to find the Stokes parameters for such an atmosphere at arbitrary optical depth. |
