文摘The radiative transfer from a model of multi-layer random media embedded by multiple components, size-distributed, dense spherical scatterers is studied. The size distribution of spherical scatterers as ice grains and the effective radius are discussed by use of a snow sample. By using Gaussian quadrature, discrete ordinate and eigenanalysis methods, two vector radiative transfer equations of dense scatterers and four coupling boundary conditions are numerically solved. The polarized brightness temperature and the functional dependence on various parameters are obtained, which are well compared with experimental data from remote sensing of dry and wet snow.
