A peculiar discontinuity in the intensity of light reflected by a plane-parallel atmosphere for horizontal directions of incidence and reflectance is uncovered. A formula is derived describing this discontinuity as a function of the albedo of single scattering and the phase (scattering) function, both at the top of the atmosphere, and the manner in which the directions of incidence and emergence become...
We show that the intensity vector of light reflected by a plane-parallel atmosphere is discontinuous if the directions of incidence and reflection are both horizontal. An exact expression describing the discontinuity is presented. This expression shows that the discontinuity is only due to first order scattering at the top of the atmosphere and occurs for all four Stokes parameters, as well as for...
