Abstract: | Methods for solving radiative transfer problems within the extended visible spectrum in planetary atmospheres are reviewed for use by the nonspecialist. Emphasis is placed on rapid, approximate procedures for the determination of such quantities as the plane and spherical (Bond) albedo, surface illumination, absorbed energy, limb darkening, phase curve, and spectra. Precise numerical methods and analytical results are also discussed. Recent approaches to such complications as atmospheric inhomogeneity and reflection from a porous regolith are described briefly. |
