  15. Perturbation theory approach: based on the Green’s function G = G(z,l,W;z’,l’,W’) (z’,l’,W’) a G b arrow includes multiple scattering! (z,l,W) describes how the atmosphere responds to light

  26. The simulated Ring effect depends on the input solar spectrum

  27. Using a retrieved solar spectrum instead Clear sky land

  28. Conclusion Radiative transfer problem including Raman scattering involves scattering from one direction to another direction & from a certain wavelength to another wavelength Challenge Answers 1.Neglecting multiple Raman scattering: errors < 0.6 % 2.Neglecting polarization: errors < 0.2 % on filling-in Scalar approach can be used to simulate Ring effect. Polarization effects mainly due to elastically scattered radiation. 3. Different input solar spectra: differences up to 8% Solution: construct a solar spectrum on a high resolution wavelength grid from the measurements. Better than 0.5%.
