Computation of Green's function for radiative transfer

Description

In an accompanying paper, we develop the computational expressions for the higher order perturbation of the radiative transfer equation, and present some numerical results for typical cases. In this article, we discuss a number of issues regarding the implementation of the HOP computation: obtaining the Green's function, its expansion as a double series of Legendre polynomials, and obtaining the adjoint radiance of more general sources such as those for the fluxes at arbitrary altitudes. Examples of Green's function and its expansion coefficients are presented
