Computation procedures are developed for the emergent radiation from an inhomogeneous plane-parallel atmosphere in the spectral region extending from the UV to the IR. It is assumed that the internal radiation of the atmosphere is partly due to the temperature field as defined by LTE and partly due to subsequent scattering; the atmosphere is considered to be bounded by a surface where partial emission and reflection are known to occur, and the external illumination due to the solar flux is taken into account. The adding method is used to compute the upwelling and downwelling radiation of a model atmosphere simulated by a number of homogeneous sublayers. It is shown that application of the adding method eliminates the troublesome treatment necessitated by the polarity effects of the radiation and permits the radiation that is diffusely transmitted and reflected by the atmosphere to be expressed in terms of the composite sublayers.
