A quantitative theory is given for line formation in an atmosphere above a surface with backscattering properties. Sufficiently high spatial and spectral resolution spectra of resonance lines in Io region A can yield data on the surface scattering properties as well as the number density of scattering molecules. Macroscopically homogeneous models of scattering from the surface of Io are discussed and it was concluded that multiple reflection from crystal facets is the most likely cause for the observed phase variations of the geometric albedo.
