Abstract

This study is concerned with the investigation of the half-space albedo problem for "İnönü-linear-quadratic anisotropic scattering" by the usage of Modified FN method. The method is based on Case's method. Therefore, Case's eigenfunctions and its orthogonality properties are derived for anisotropic scattering of interest. Albedo values are calculated for various linear, quadratic and İnönü anisotropic scattering coefficients and tabulated in Tables.
