| The most simple setup contains only one layer with scattering (non-absorbing) molecules. Radiance shall be calculated for various sun-observer geometries, for twilight conditions and for limb observation geometries. We use the same model setup as for case B1, only change from plane-parallel to spherical geometry. | The most simple setup contains only one layer with scattering (non-absorbing) molecules.

| - | General definition of angles for all simulations in spherical geometry: We refer to the angles at the position of the observer, i.e. at the top of the atmosphere VZA=θ' and SZA=θ0'. For the observer at the surface VZA=θ and SZA=θ0'. The azimuth angles also refer to the position of the observer. The figure is taken from [[https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-16-5863-2023|Gao et al. 2023]]. | ||
