説明
Abstract The efficiency of numerical calculations is discussed for selected algorithms employing the discrete ordinate method and the truncation approximation for the solar radiative intensity in moderately thick, plane-parallel scattering atmospheres. It is found that truncation of the phase function causes a significant error in the computed intensity and the magnitude of this error depends significantly on how the intensity is retrieved from the truncated radiative transfer equation. A newly developed retrieval algorithm, the IMS- method, yields the intensity field with an error ⪅1% when the number of discrete path is as small as 10 in the hemisphere for aerosol-laden atmospheres with optical thickness ⪅1.
