Abstract

We offer the generalization of the vectorial small angle modification of the spherical harmonics method (VMSH) for an arbitrary angle and polarization sate of irradiance of a slab. Non diagonal elements of an aerosol scattering matrix were admitted. The smooth addition part for the VMSH is given. Thus we obtain a complete and accelerated solution of the vectorial radiative transfer equation.
