This book is aimed at studying the scattering of monochromatic
radiation in plane inhomogeneous media. We are dealing with the
media whose optical properties depend on a single spatial
coordinate, namely of a depth. The most widely known books on
radiation transfer, for instance 1. S. Chandrasekhar, Radiative
Transfer, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1950, (RT), 2. V. V. Sobolev,
Light Scattering in Planetary Atmospheres, New York, Pergamon
Press, 1975, (LSPA), 3. H. C. van de Hulst, Multiple Light
Scattering. Tables, Formulas and - plications. Vol. 1,2, New York,
Academic Press, 1980, (MLS), treat mainly the homogeneous
atmospheres. However, as known, the actual atmospheres of stars and
planets, basins of water, and other artificial and nat ural media
are not homogeneous. This book deals with the model of vertically
inhomogeneous atmosphere, which is closer to reality than the
homogeneous models. This book is close to the aforementioned
monographs in its scope of prob lems and style. Therefore, I guess
that a preliminary knowledge of the con tents of these books,
particularly of the book by Sobolev, would facilitate the readers'
task substantially. On the other hand, all concepts, problems, and
equations used in this book are considered in full in Chap. 1. So,
it will be possible for those readers who do not possess the above
knowledge to understand this book. A general idea about the content
of the book can be gained from both the Introduction and the Table
of Contents."
