analysis, and the values of the radiative characteristics have been assumed as
the exact ones.
The radiative characteristics of the inhomogeneous cloud layer have been
calculated with the doubling and adding method for five sublayers with optical
thickness τ = ω

0, i together with asymmetry
factor g (two latter parameters varying for sublayers). The irradiances have
been calculated at the boundaries of sublayers. Then the optical parameters
have been retrieved with formulas (6.11) and (6.12). Table 6.3 demonstrates
the obtained results and the uncertainties of these results. The results of the
