Abstract
The problem of interaction of the solar radiation with the turbid Earth atmosphere, containing complicated polydispersive aerosol systems, is discussed in this paper. Equations for computing the angular functions ofn-th order scattering are derived. On the basis of these functions the spectral radiance, radiation flows and radiation balance of the atmosphere in the short-wave spectral range are calculated. The relations obtained can be used to calculate the complex index of refraction, distribution function and other characteristics of the submicron aerosol fraction, by solving the inverse problems.
