Multiple Scattering in a Non-Homogeneous, Rayliegh Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical computations related to the problem of diffuse reflection and transmission of the solar ultraviolet radiation by the earth's atmosphere in the presence of ozone have been carried out to include all orders of ...
A Direct Solution of the Spherical Harmonics Approximation to the Radiative Transfer Equation for an Arbitrary Solar Elevation. Part I: Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spherical harmonics approximation to the transfer equation for an azimuth-dependent component of intensity of scattered radiation is reduced by finite differences to a block algebraic system of particularly simple ...
A Direct Solution of the Spherical Harmonies Approximation to the Radiative Transfer Equation for an Arbitrary Solar Elevation. Part II: Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that the method based on a direct numerical solution of the spherical harmonics approximation to the radiative transfer equation can be used for obtaining smooth scattered-intensity vs angle-of-observation ...
Effect of Aerosols on the Estimation of Total Ozone in an Atmospheric Column from the Measurements of Its Ultraviolet Radiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Values of the total ozone content of an atmospheric column are estimated from the simulated five-wave-length measurements of the intensity of radiation backscattered by a horizontally homogeneous earth-atmosphere system ...
The Effect of Lambert-Type Ground Reflection on Umkehr Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of the effect of ground reflection on the scattered sky radiation in the presence of Ozone absorption has been solved considering only primary scattering. The numerical results for the case of the zenith direction ...
Effect of Aerosols on the Transfer of Solar Energy Through Realistic Model Atmospheres. Part I: Non-Absorbing Aerosols
