Radiative transfer in realistic planetary atmospheres

The research accomplished during this period is briefly summarized. The interior radiances within an optically deep absorbing medium scattering according to the Haze L phase function is discussed along with a method for calculating the radiance and color of the twilight sky. The application of the matrix operator method to calculations of radiance, polarization, and ellipticity of the radiation scattered from homogeneous layers scattering is reported. Reports, and publications are listed.
