| contents | This article is an attempt to elucidate the effect of a slowly varying refractive index on the temperature in a stratified atmosphere, with a particular focus on greenhouse gases such as CO2. It validates an iterative method for the vector radiative transfer equations (VVRTE) called Iterations on the Source. As the system proposed by Chandrasekhar and Pomraning is not well posed for all rays directions when the refractive index varies, so instead we solve an integral representation of VRTE without the problematic rays. A mathematical proof is given showing monotonicity, convergence of the iterations and existence and uniqueness. Furthermore the convergence is geometric if the absorption is not too large. Some numerical tests are performed showing the effect of a layer of cloud with a refractive index greater than air, polarisation and scattering. |
