“…While this correction significantly reduces the number of streams N and number of harmonics M, it also changes the phase function causing substantial error in the aureole area [45,31]. Recent investigations revealed an error up to 4.5% [10] caused by truncation of the phase matrix. Thus, any vector computations with modified phase matrix should be done with caution.…”

A new polarized radiative transfer code Atmospheric Polarization Computations (APC) is described. The code is based on separation of the diffuse light field into anisotropic and smooth (regular) parts. The anisotropic part is computed analytically. The smooth regular part is computed numerically using the discrete ordinates method. Vertical stratification of the atmosphere, common types of bidirectional surface reflection and scattering by spherical particles or spheroids are included. A particular consideration is given to computation of the bidirectional polarization distribution function (BPDF) of the waved ocean surface.
