Spectropolarimetric signatures of Earth-like extrasolar planets (2007, background): “Note that Seager et al. (2000); Saar & Seager (2003), and Hough & Lucas (2003) concentrate on polarization signals of exoplanets that are spatiallyunresolvable from their star, in other words, the polarized flux of the planet is added to a huge background of unpolarized stellar flux, while Stam…”
VLIDORT: A linearized pseudo-spherical vector discrete ordinate radiative transfer code for forward model and retrieval studies in multilayer multiple scattering media (2006, background): “These ‘‘Greek constants’’ are commonly used to specify the polarized-light single-scattering law, and there are a number of efficient analytical techniques for their computation, not only for spherical particles (see for example [12]) but also for randomly oriented homogeneous and inhomogeneous non-”
FRESCO+: an improved O 2 A-band cloud retrieval algorithm for tropospheric trace gas retrievals (2008, unknown): “A3 Single Rayleigh scattering reflectance The single Rayleigh scattering reflectance,RR, is calculated with the formula (see Fig.2) (Hovenier et al., 2005), RR(λ, zr , µ, µ0, ϕ − ϕ0) = FR(µ, µ0, ϕ−ϕ0) 4µ0µ ∫ ∞ zr ksca(λ, z)T (λ, z, µ,µ0)dz, (A8) where T (λ, z, µ, µ0) is the transmittance,µ0= cosθ0, ”
