Radiative Transfer: Earth Atmosphere

Scientific paper

In a recent attempt at including bidirectional reflectances with a preferred direction the author (Godsalve, 1995) stated the boundary conditions erroneously. Had the correct boundary condition been applied, all the Fourier components would have been found to be strongly coupled at all orders. The original work erroneously found that only sine and cosine terms of the same order were coupled. There was no appeal to the reciprocity principle in the previous paper. The author gives here an example of a symmetry breaking reflectance function that shows that, in general, the reciprocity principle cannot be used to simplify the problem by decoupling the Fourier components of different orders.
