摘要
The problems in some previous discrete ordinate method computations of radiative transfer are discussed, and a new manipulation is presented, which overcomes the difficulties in intensity calculations with the discrete ordinate method, and can be used to obtain accurate intensities with less streams. Even in strongly anisotropically scattering atmospheres the intensities in all directions including forward and backward directions of the direct radiation can be obtained satisfactorily.
