The Transfer of Radiation by an Emitting Atmosphere. II.
Abstract
The transfer of radiation by a plane-parallel atmosphere containing a linear distribution of emission sources is considered for the isotropic case. The exact expressions for the emergent intensity are derived for both finite and semi-infinite atmospheres. It is shown how the exact field at any depth can be ohtained.
