Calculations that use the Gauss-Seidel method are presented of the diffusely scattered light in a spherical atmosphere with polarization fully included. Comparisons are made between this method and the Monte Carlo calculations of other researchers for spherical geometry in a pure Rayleigh atmosphere. Comparisons with plane-parallel atmospheres are also presented. Single-scatter intensity comparisons with spherical geometry show excellent agreement. When all orders of scattering are included, comparisons of polarization parameters I, Q and U as well as the plane of polarization show good agreement when allowances are made for the statistical variability inherent in the Monte Carlo method.
给出了使用高斯-赛德尔方法进行的计算，该计算考虑了完全包含偏振的球形大气中的漫散射光。将此方法与其他研究人员针对纯瑞利大气中球形几何结构的蒙特卡罗计算进行了比较。还给出了与平面平行大气的比较。与球形几何结构的单次散射强度比较显示出极佳的一致性。当包含所有散射阶次时，在考虑蒙特卡罗方法固有的统计变异性后，偏振参数I、Q和U以及偏振面的比较显示出良好的一致性。
