Concerning the Effect of Anisotropic Scattering and Finite Depth on the Distribution of Solar Radiation in Snow

It is shown that anisotropic scattering with a strong forward peak can give reasonable agreement with angular reflectance data for snow. As a result of the forward peak, solar radiation penetrates deeper into the medium, when measured in terms of photon mean free paths, than it does for isotropic sc...
