The diffuse radiation in the upward direction at the top and at an internal level of an inhomogeneous atmosphere is computed at a wavelength of 40 microns. The surface is assumed to reflect light in accordance with a hybrid mode of a diffuse and specular reflector. The objective is to estimate the effect of underlying surface characteristics in terms of the diffuse radiation field. By making use of these results, accuracy in monitoring the atmospheric aerosols would be increased for the employment of remote-sensing satellite techniques. The Junge power law (1963) is adopted for the size distribution of aerosols, while the data given by McClatchy et al. (1971) is used for the number density of aerosols with height distribution. It is noted from the computations that the diffuse reflection radiation is affected by the surface characteristics, even if the albedo of the surface is a fixed constant and very small.
