Exact solution of the transport equation for imperfect rayleigh scattering in a semi-infinite atmosphere

By performing the one-sided Laplace transform on the matrix integro-differential equation for a semi-infinite plane parallel imperfect Rayleigh scattering atmosphere we derive an integral equation for the emergent intensity matrix. Application of the Wiener-Hopf technique to this integral equation will give the emergent intensity matrix in terms of singularH-matrix and an unknown matrix. The unknown matrix has been determined considering the boundary condition at infinity to be identical with the asymptotic solution for the intensity matrix.
