The radiation field is analyzed for an infinite plane atmosphere in which the phase function and single scattering albedo are regarded as given functions of optical depth. The particular case of weak true absorption or nearly conservative scattering is considered. Equations are derived for the radiation field in the deep layers of a semi-infinite, inhomogeneous atmosphere illuminated by parallel rays.
