A new numerical model to compute photolysis rates and solar heating with anisotropic scattering in spherical geometry

For calculating photolysis rates and solar heating in the atmosphere, the radiation field has to be calculated very accurately. Previous investigations have shown that for large solar zenith angles a solution of the radiation equation which accounts for the Earth's curvature is needed. A ne...
