Study of Radiative Transfer in Scattering Atmospheres.

Abstract

A computationally efficient method called DART for simulating radiative transfer (including curvature effects) was adapted to the estimation of contrast transmission in an illuminated sky, and tested against comparable Monte Carlo simulations with a code called FLASH. The testing procedure raised several questions concerning the FLASH code, and therefore did not resolve questions concerning DART. (Author)
