Radiative transfer through an arbitrarily thick, scattering atmosphere

Alan H. Karp, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a method based on the spherical harmonics expansion was proposed for solving the equation of radiative transfer in a vertically inhomogeneous planetary atmosphere, which can be used to compute models with an arbitrarily large optical thickness and any scattering phase function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modified spherical harmonics method for solving the radiative transport equation

Vadim A. Markel
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to solving the three-dimensional radiative transport equation with an arbitrary phase function is proposed, based on expanding the angular part of the specific intensity in q-dependent spherical functions for each spatial Fourier component characterized by the vector q.
Journal ArticleDOI

An analytic radiative-convective model for planetary atmospheres

Tyler D. Robinson, +3 more
- 06 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytic one-dimensional radiative-convective model of the thermal structure of planetary atmospheres is presented, which assumes that thermal radiative transfer is gray and can be represented by the twostream approximation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The discrete-ordinate method in diffusive regimes

Shi Jin, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the behavior of the discrete-ordinate method in highly scattering regimes, where the leading behavior of its solution is determined by the solution of a diffusion equation.

Laboratory measurements of radar backscatter from bare and snow-covered saline ice sheets

S. G. Beaven, +8 more
- 01 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed experiments to collect radar backscatter data at Ku (134GHz) and C bands (53GHz) over simulated sea ice at the US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) during the 1990 and 1992 winter seasons.
