An improved spectral coefficient method based on Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is employed to solve the vector radiative transfer equation under the assumption of parallel-plane atmosphere and Rayleigh scattering. The solver is extended to consider a Lambertian surface at the bottom of the atmosphere. The computational properties of...

A new solver based on an improved Chebyshev spectral method is proposed to simulate the atmospheric propagation in the case of parallel-plane atmosphere, Rayleigh scattering, and a Lambertian surface at the bottom of the atmosphere. A numerical validation is achieved against a publicly available benchmark dataset and an analysis of the...
