Application of the method of discrete ordinates to the solution of the transport equation in the case of an inhomogeneous planetary atmosphere

Abstract

A version of the method of discrete ordinate (MDO) which can be used for an optically thick inhomogeneous atmosphere was developed. The MDO may be implemented as an algorithm simpler than those proposed earlier. The algorithm is the same for each azimuth dependent component of intensity. The MDO can determine the scattered radiation field over its entire length along the vertical. It is shown the MDO, when used for homogeneous atmospheres is in agreement with the results obtained by other methods
