The axially symmetric radiation field in a nonconservative homogeneous plane-parallel planetary atmosphere is considered. The radiative transfer vector equation is solved using the method of discrete ordinates. The scattering processes in the atmosphere, which is bounded from below by a Lambert surface, are described by the Rayleigh-Cabannes phase matrix. The primary radiation field is generated by constant internal sources of either unpolarized or polarized radiation. FORTRAN subroutines are compiled to find the radiation field for the atmosphere at arbitrary optical depth. Chandrasekhar's discrete ordinate method is then used to solve the Milne problem for a conservative homogeneous plane-parallel atmosphere which also scatters radiation according to the Rayleigh-Cabannes law. The approximate solution is obtained explicitly.
