Abstract

Finite-difference approximations to die radiative transfer equation are presented
and the solution procedures for plane-parallel fluxes and intensities computations are
discussed. It is shown that, while maintainig the same level of accuracy, the proposed
algorithms are up to several hundred times faster than other established solvers. Data
sources and physical parameterisations are discussed further and the application of the
developed software to die calculation of the photolytic rates is presented. Uncertainties and
sources of errors are analysed in the concluding sections.
