A method for solving the three-dimensional equation of transfer for a vertically inhomogeneous atmosphere bounded by a reflecting surface of non-uniform bidirectional reflectance is presented. The technique incorporates a two-dimensional spatial Fourier transform of the transfer equation and solution of the resulting expressions for each Fourier component of the radiation field using the method of Gauss-Seidel iteration. The intensity field in the spatial domain, which is calculated for a variety of altitudes, zenith angles, and azimuths, is reconstructed using the inverse Fourier transform. An empirical surface bidirectional reflectance function is employed, permitting the consideration of non-Lambertian reflective properties.
