Two-stream Approximation

The Two-Stream Approximation is a radiative transfer model that simplifies the angular dependence of radiation by dividing the intensity into two discrete streams—upward and downward—thereby enabling analytical or semi-analytical solutions to the radiative transfer equation in plane-parallel media.
