International audience The Net Exchange Formulation (NEF) is an alternative to the usual radiative transfer equation. It was proposed in 1967 by Green [1] for atmospheric sciences and by Hottel [2] for engineering sciences. Until now, the NEF has been used only in a very few cases for atmospheric st...
