A description is presented of a method for the rapid calculation of tropospheric and stratospheric multiply scattered solar-induced radiation, in sufficient detail to allow the straightforward incorporation of the mathematical model into photochemical models. Method results show that multiple scattering and ground albedo may yield large amplifications of the radiation field in the photochemically active 240-1000 nm region. The method solves the integral equation of radiative transport theory for the source function, or the enhancement factor by which the solar flux at the top of the atmosphere must be multiplied at each altitude and wavelength to obtain the total flux available for photodissociation processes. In the second part of this paper, the enhancement factors due to multiple scattering are given for the heights, solar zenith angles and 300-800 nm wavelengths playing a role in the photodissociation of various atmospheric constituents.
