Single and Multiple Scattering

 Single and multiple scattering 

The effects of multiple scattering on coda waves have been investigated by an extension of the single-scattering theory. 

The contributions to the coda power due to multiple scattering from a uniform distribution of isotropic 

scatterers in a two-dimensional infinite elastic medium have been numerically evaluated.

Single and multiple scattering contributions to the circumsolar radiation along the almucantar and sun vertical have been computed 

by a Gauss-Seidel solution to the radiative transfer equation. In the near forward direction, 

the multiple scattering contributions are significant for optical depths of the order of 0.4. However, 

the shape of the angular distribution of almucantar radiance up to 10° appears less sensitive to multiple scattering.
