Scientific paper

The Curtis-Godson approximation, which was initially derived to compute the transmission through clear inhomogeneous atmospheres, has been generalized to any cloudy atmosphere by means of the scaled amount distribution. For most of the realistic atmospheres, the accuracy of this generalized approximation is comparable to or even better than for the clear case.
