TL;DR: The libRadtran as discussed by the authors software package is a widely used software package for radiative transfer calculations, which allows one to compute (polarized) radiances, irradiance, and actinic fluxes in the solar and thermal spectral regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the top of atmosphere reflectance is approximated by a function depending on vertically integrated optical depths and effective particle sizes for water and ice clouds, the surface albedo, the sun and satellite zenith angles and the scattering angle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Monte Carlo radiative transfer model MYSTIC to simulate the atmosphere of the Earth without approximations regarding the geometry, taking into account the polarization from surface reflection and multiple scattering by molecules, aerosol particles, cloud droplets, and ice crystals.

TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo radiative transfer model was used to simulate the Earth's atmosphere and surface properties, taking into account the polarization from surface reflection and multiple scattering by molecules, aerosol particles, cloud droplets, and ice crystals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new approach for solving the radiative transfer equation in horizontally homogeneous atmospheres, called GORRAM (Generator of Really Rapid Accurate Monte-Carlo) which generates solvers individually optimized for the intended task.
