INVARIANT IMBEDDING AND TIME-DEPENDENT DIFFUSE REFLECTION OF A PENCIL OF RADIATION BY A FINITE INHOMOGENEOUS FLAT LAYER. PART I

Journal Article · · Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications (U.S.)
The principle of invariant imbedding is used to obtain integral equations for the scattering function of a pencil of radiation by a finite, plane- parallel, inhomogeneous, nonemitting, and isotropically scattering atmosphere with mono-directional illumination of the lower surface, allowing for the incident Dirac delta-function and unit stepfunction, time-dependent, net fluxes. Finally, the Laplace transform of the integral equation for the s-function is derived. (auth)
