Abstract
It is shown that anisotropic scattering with a strong forward peak can give reasonable agreement with angular reflectance data for snow. As a result of the forward peak, solar radiation penetrates deeper into the medium, when measured in terms of photon mean free paths, than it does for isotropic scattering. The radiation transmitted directly through finite slabs can be seen to an optical depth of seven, and decreases much more rapidly with optical depth than does the diffusely transmitted (scattered) radiation.
