Abstract
Here we will present photon-path distributions, and also \(l_{\text{av}}^{ \uparrow \downarrow } \) and \(l_{\text{eff}}^{ \uparrow \downarrow } \), for an isolated stratiform cloud with the vertical stratification of water content ω and scattering coefficient σ described in Chaps. 2 and 4.
