On the theory of atmospheric optical transfer operators
Abstract
A formula is developed for calculating the horizontally inhomogeneous component of the upwelling radiance field in the atmosphere above a surface with isotropic reflection. It is shown that the dependence of this component on the spatial variations of surface albedo is nonlinear.
