| Abstract: | A simple improvement of a previous direct method of solution of the spherical harmonics approximation to the radiative transfer equation results in higher computational efficiencies by factors of 2–4; these higher efficiencies are particularly important to shorten the lengthy computations required in optically thick nonhomogeneous atmospheres. |
