Scientific paper

A modified version of the doubling-adding method is employed to compute the upwelling radiation at the top of the atmosphere over a circular lake located in the uniform Lambert surface. The radiance over the lake is discussed with respect to the atmospheric effect. The radius of the lake is assumed to be 0.5, 1, and 3 km. Numerical simulation shows that the radiance of the lake against the surroundings depends upon the albedo of the surrounding surface. It increases with increasing lake size and decreases with optical thickness. At large optical depth, the radiance depends on the aerosol characteristics. It shows little dependence on the solar zenith angle if it is less than about 60 deg.
