โœฆ Synopsis

Green's function is a widely used approach for boundary value problems. In problems related to radiative transfer, Green's function has been found to be useful in land, ocean and atmosphere remote sensing. It is also a key element in higher order perturbation theory. This paper presents an explicit expression of the Green's function, in terms of the source and radiation field variables, for a plane-parallel atmosphere with either vacuum boundaries or a reflecting (BRDF) surface. Full polarization state is considered but the algorithm has been developed in such way that it can be easily reduced to solve scalar radiative transfer problems, which makes it possible to implement a single set of code for computing both the scalar and the vector Green's function.

In this paper we solve the inversion problem of the radiative transfer process in the isotropic planeparallel atmosphere by iterative integrations of the Milne integral equation. As a result, we obtain the scattering function in the form of a cubic polynomial in optical thickness. The author has alr

## Abstract Calculations of the transmission of infrared radiation through the atmosphere must take into account inhomogeneities in the path due to variations of temperature, pressure and absorbing matter. For ozone absorption the method due to Curtis and Godson does not seem to yield results that
