Solution of the inhomogeneous Rayleigh scattering atmosphere

摘要: The equation of radiative transfer for a Rayleigh scattering atmosphere including polarization is reduced to an azimuth-independent form. integro-differential equations are then solved by approximating the integrals as sums and differentials finite differences. resultant set Feautrier technique. This method can solve inhomogeneous atmospheres allowing arbitrary variations with depth single albedo source term. As example, zero-phase geometric albedos center-to-limb intensities calculated planetary disk semi-infinite pressure-induced absorbing atmosphere.
