Abstract  A new method of multi-coupled single scattering (MCSS) for solving vector radiative transfer equation is developed and public on Internet. Recent solutions got from Chandrasekhar's X-Y method is used to validate the MCSS's result, which shows a high precision. The MCSS method is theoretically simple and clear, so it can be easily and credibly extended to simulation of aerosol/cloud atmosphere's radiative property, which provides effective support for the research of polarized remote sensing.
