METHOD OF SOLVING THE RADIATIVE TRANSFER EQUATION FOR ATMOSPHERE-OCEAN SYSTEM AND ASYMPTOTIC STATE OF RADIANCE IN SEA WATERS

摘要

Urder the condition of regarding the atmosphere and sea waters as homogeneous mediaseparately and the interface between them as a flat, a complete method of solvnig the radi-ative transfer equation (RTE) for an atmosphere-ocean system is presented. Based on the de-veloped general solution to the RTE, the asymptotic state of the radiance and its propertiesare deduced. A computation example is provided, which is in good agreement with the the-oretical results. Some questions about practical applications of the method are discussed.
