Depolarization of multiple scattered light in atmospheres due to anisotropy of small grains and molecules. II. The problems with sources

Abstract

In the previous paper we considered two classic problems - the diffuse reflection of the light beam from semi-infinite atmosphere, and the Milne problem. For both problems we used the technique of invariance principle. In this paper we consider the solution of the problem when in semi-infinite atmosphere the sources of unpolarized radiation are exist. Here we used the technique of the Green matrices. We consider only continuum radiation.
