Tables of (M), H (M), (i ), Hv ' ( ), and N( functions appropriate for semi-infinite atmospheres scattering according to the nonconservative Rayleigh phase matrix are given for thirty values of tbe albedo for single scattering = 0 (0.1) 0.6 (0.05) 0.8 (0.025) 0.9 (0.01) 0.98 (0.005) 0.995 (0.001) 0.999, at intervals of M = 0 (0.01)1.0 to six significant figures. They can be used for computing the emergent diffuse radiation field corresponding to an incident illumination in an arbitrary state of polarization.
