The solution of the auxiliary equation by a Green's function method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
The kernel of the integral equation for the source function in a three-dimensional homogeneous atmosphere possesses the properties of a Green's function. These properties are used to transform the integral equation into a singular integral equation for the kernel. The particular case of a homogeneous plane parallel atmosphere is discussed and a solution to the kernel equation is obtained at all points of the atmosphere.
