Abstract
In this chapter, we shall consider Monte Carlo algorithms for solving problems of the solar-radiation propagation in a scattering and absorbing planetary atmosphere, for example, that of the Earth. In the last few years, the importance of these problems, in which multiple scattering, sphericity of the atmosphere, and the light polarization for a detailed radiation model of the atmosphere are taken into account, has grown because of the need to interpret optical observations.
