Scientific paper

An application of the adding or doubling method of van de Hulst was made for two homogeneous atmospheric layers composing an inhomogeneous atmosphere. The lower layer was assumed to be an aerosol composed of silicate particles of complex refractive index 1.55-Oi corresponding to a wavelength of 0.5 micrometers. The particle size distribution was measured on-site. The upper layer was assumed to be a gaseous layer scattering light in accordance with Rayleigh's phase function. Radiance values were computed for a planetary system composed of the described composite atmospheric layer overlying a Lambert reflecting ground.
