Numerical simulations of disk-integrated reflected fluxes (top) and the degree of linear polarization (bottom) as functions of α for different model planets. The flux curves are normalized such that they equal the planetary geometric albedo A_G at α = 0°. For all curves, N_eq = 20. Dotdashed line (only flux): Lambertian reflecting planet with a surface albedo a_ss = 1.0. Dashed line: planet with a gaseous atmosphere with , ρ = 0.02, and a_s = 0.0. Solid line: same planet with model D aerosol (see text) added.
