This paper describes how the hybrid mode of a diffuse and specular reflector can be used in the context of an 'addition' method to compute the diffusely reflected and transmitted radiation emerging from an inhomogeneous plane-parallel planetary atmosphere bounded by a surface with an arbitrary phase matrix. It is shown that if the atmosphere is modeled as several homogeneous sublayers, the emerging radiation can be expressed in terms of the diffuse reflection and transmission matrices for radiation from the sublayers. It is noted that this method overcomes the difficulty in computations due to the effect of the radiation's polarity and can easily be extended to the case where the surface reflects radiation in accordance with the Lambert law.
