A discrete method for multiple scattering, radiative-transfer calculations in vertically inhomogeneous, nonisothermal atmospheres in LTE is presented and shown to be reliable and efficient. The linear-in-optical-depth approximation to the Planck function used to obtain accurate thermal-radiation solutions is shown to significantly improve computation efficiency while retaining the requisite accuracy. This multiple-scattering scheme is used to construct and validate a radiation model for stratified atmospheres which takes Rayleigh scattering and absorption/emission into account; the model is then validated by computing the fluxes and heating/cooling-rate profiles for the five McClatchey et al. (1973) atmospheres.
