Abstract

The study gives a characteristic of the developed model of solar-radiation transfer in the spherical system atmosphere-earth’s surface. Account is taken of the vertical profiles of the aerosol and gas components of the atmosphere, the anisotropy of the reflection of the earth’s mantle, the properties of the relief of the earth’s surface, the characteristics of the wind wave, and the optical properties of the aqueous medium. The problem of radiation transfer is considered in the approximation of the small-angle modification of the method of spherical harmonics. The polar and azimuthal distributions of the components of the Stokes vector are obtained. The integral radiation characteristics and the temperature and rate of heating of the medium at various levels are determined within the framework of a general calculation scheme.
