Abstract
A multiple scattering theory for a laser beam propagating in fogs is formulated in terms of the spatial-angle statistical distribution functions. A series expansion in the order of multiplicity of the scattering events is obtained for the spectral radiance and irradiance. The advantage of the present method over the method of characteristics applied to the equation of radiative transfer is discussed. Numerical results for radiational and advective fogs are presented.Keywords
