description abstractThe assimilation of satellite microwave measurements and the retrieval of geophysical parameters require a fast and accurate radiative transfer model. In this study, a scheme is developed to solve the vector radiative transfer equation using a polarimetric two-stream approximation. In the scheme, the integration of the phase matrix over azimuth angle is derived as an analytic form that can also be directly utilized for the general radiative transfer scheme. Each Stokes radiance component is expressed as an analytical function of atmospheric and surface optical parameters. The model is applicable for spherical and randomly oriented nonspherical scatters. The differences of brightness temperatures between the polarimetric two-stream model and the matrix operator method are less than 2 K for various frequencies.
