A new way is adopted for the evaluation of the upwelling radiation from atmosphere bounded by two half-Lambert surfaces. The atmosphere is assumed to be homogeneous, and is composed of aerosol, molecules, and absorbent gases, where the model aerosol is of the oceanic and water soluble types.In the computational procedure, an iterative doubling-adding equation is expanded into a series of the radiative interaction modes between atmosphere and surface. Next, a probability of radiation interacting with respective half surfaces is calculated based on the assumption of single-scattering in the atmosphere. On the basis of this probability, the emergent radiation at the top of the atmosphere is approximately calculated by considering the radiative intractions to be twice as large. The effect of the multiple-scattering is fully taken into account. A numerical simulation exhibits the extraordinary effect near the two half-surface boundary of different albedoes. The effect of the other half-surface on the radiance decreases monotonically with the distance from the boundary. The present new version enable us to quantitatively discuss radiative transfer near the boundary of two half-surfaces even if the optical thickness is large and (or) surface albedo is great.
