Radiative transfer - a personal account.
Abstract
Contents: 1. Preliminaries. 2. The solutions for some typical problems by the method of discrete ordinates. 3. The equation of transfer incorporating the polarization of the radiation field - the problem with a constant flux. 4. The general vector equation of transfer in terms of Stokes parameters. 5. The impact of Ambartsumian's principles of invariance. 6. Solutions of the coupled systems of integral equations which follow from the principles of invariance. 7. The polarization of the sunlit sky.
