Abstract

The diffuse reflection of parallel rays by an inhomogeneous, plane- parallel, nonemitting, and isotropically scattering atmosphere of finite optical thickness is developed. The S-function for the standard diffuse reflection problem is derived. The standard diffuse reflection problem is considered as a limiting process of a collimated point source problem and as a limiting process of a transient diffuse reflection problem when the incident intensity is given in the form of the unit step function of time.
