κ i = ε i (1 −

as
α i = ε i ω 0 i . We are neglecting the radiation scattering
in the optically thin clear atmosphere between the cloud layers and in the
underlying clear layer and assuming that the lower layer adjoins the ground
surface with albedo A .
Remember that thediffusedirradiances outgoing from the optically thick
layer are described in relative units
scattering coefficient is

is accepted as the value of the spherical albedo of the second layer (counting

The formulas for computing the solar diffused radiance are derived as above by
substituting the product that described diffused radiation incoming to layer:
