Abstract
The ADO (analytical discrete ordinates) method is used to establish a concise and accurate solution for a multi-layer radiative-transfer problem with Fresnel boundary and interface conditions. A finite plane-parallel medium composed of a number ( K) of sub-strata with different material properties is considered to be illuminated by isotropically incident radiation. While a general result is obtained, emphasis in the numerical work is given to computing accurately the currents and the intensities that exit each of the two exterior surfaces. Monochromatic forms (with anisotropic scattering) of the radiative-transfer equation are used, and numerical results are given for several specific cases. The complications introduced by the Fresnel boundary and interface conditions are well resolved, so that the numerical results obtained are thought to define a very high standard.
