Abstract
We extend earlier models of planetary layers in radiative equilibrium by including scattering within a homogeneous cloud !ayer in a single direction. The atmospheric layers above and below the cloud !ayer are taken to be in radiative equilibrium, whose temperature profiles may be calculated. Though the resulting profile, being discontinuous, is unrealistic, the model adds to the effects of the earlier models a cloud albedo, resulting from the scattering of short-wave radiation.
