This equation is called the radiative transfer equation.<br />

Two completely different approaches show that this emission function is not just determined<br />

by physical laws [93]:<br />

1. <strong>The</strong> usual one, i.e. the one in case of LTE, is given by the ansatz<br />

S ν (x, y, z; l, m, n) = B ν (T(x, y, z; l, m, n)) (60)<br />

where the coordinates (x, y, z) and the direction cosines (l, m, n) define the point and<br />

the direction to which S ν and B ν (resp. T ) refer. This approach is justified with the<br />

aid of the Kirchhoff-Planck-function B ν and the “generalized” Kirchhoff law introduced<br />

in Equation (51).<br />

This assumption of Local <strong>The</strong>rmodynamical Equilibrium (LTE) is<br />

ruled out by many scientists even for the extremely hot atmospheres of stars.<br />

reader is referred to Chandrasekhar’s classical book on radiative transfer [93].<br />

<strong>The</strong><br />

LTE<br />

does only bear a certain significance for the radiation transport calculations, if the<br />

absorption coefficients were not dependent on the temperature, which is not the case at<br />

low temperatures. Nevertheless, in modern climate model computations, this approach<br />

is used unscrupulously [91].<br />

2. Another approach is the scattering atmosphere given by<br />

S ν = 1 ∫ π ∫ 2π<br />

p(ϑ, ϕ; ϑ ′ , ϕ ′ ) I ν (ϑ ′ , ϕ ′ ) sin ϑ ′ dϑ ′ dϕ ′ (61)<br />

4π 0 0<br />

<strong>The</strong>se extremely different approaches show, that even the physically well-founded radiative<br />

transfer calculations are somewhat arbitrary. Formally, the radiative transfer equation (59)<br />

can be integrated leading to<br />

with the optical thickness<br />

I ν (s) = I ν (0) exp(−τ(s, 0)) +<br />

τ(s, s ′ ) =<br />

∫ s<br />

0<br />

∫ s<br />

S ν (s ′ ) exp(−τ(s, s ′ ))κ ν ϱ ds ′ (62)<br />

s ′ κ ν ϱ ds ′′ (63)<br />

<strong>The</strong> integrations for the separate directions are independent of one another. In particular,<br />

the ones up have nothing to do with the ones down.<br />

It cannot be overemphasized, that<br />

differential equations only allow the calculation of changes on the basis of known parameters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> initial values (or boundary conditions) cannot be derived from the differential equations<br />

to be solved. In particular, this even holds for this simple integral.<br />

If one assumes that the temperature of a volume element should be constant, one cannot<br />

calculate a rising temperature.
