Feigelson E.M., et.al. Calculation of the brightness of light in the case of anisotropic scattering

Dordrecht: Springer Science+ Business Media, 1960. — 106 pp.Authors: E.M. Feigelson, M.S. Malkevich, S.Ya. Kogan, T.D. Koronatova, K.S. Glazova, and M.A. Kuznetsova.The present work is looked upon by the authors as an attempt to approximate the real conditions of propagation of light in the terrestrial atmosphere more closely and to discover to what extent the anisotropy in scattering should be taken into account. The present work was carried out at the Institute of Physics of the Atmosphere of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR by members of the staff of the Atmospheric Physics Laboratory. The paper consists of results of calculation of the intensity of solar light scattered by the atmosphere in the case of anisotropic scattering and for different physical parameters and scattering functions. The solution of the integrodifferential equations of the theory of radiation transfer in an anisotropically scattering medium was obtained by the method of successive approximations.Mathematical solution of the problem.
