It is noted that an analysis of the geocoronal He-I 58.4-nm resonance radiation field with rocket-borne gas absorption cell photometers has revealed that singly scattered photons attain steadily increasing importance in the radiation signals if photons close to the line center are effectively suppressed. To confirm this quantitatively, the radiation transport problem is reinvestigated, and the spectral intensity is given in terms of contributions from different scattering orders. In formulating these contributions, the concept of angle-dependent partial frequency redistribution is used in comparison with that of complete redistribution. The first and second order intensity contributions are investigated in detail here with respect to their spectral profile, their local and solar zenith angle dependence, and their height profile.
