Abstract The isotropic H functions defined in radiative transfer theory by Chandrasekhar ( Radiative Transfer , Dover, New York, 1960) have been numerically recalculated for a larger number of single scattering albedo ( w ) values. The obtained H functions should be accurate to five decimal places at least. The H function values become highly nonlinear as w approaches 1, where calculations were performed with many more points than in Chandrasekhar (1960). A simple linear interpolation of Chandrasekhar's H function table could result in as much as 8% error in the H function values and 16% in the H 2 values that appear in multiple scattering terms such as in Hapke ( J. Geophys. Res. 86, 3039-3054, 1981). On the other hand, Hapke's approximations ( J. Geophys. Res. 86, 3039-3054, 1981; Theory of Reflectance and Emittance Spectroscopy , Cambridge Univ. Press, New York, 1993) give H values within 4.1% and 0.8% error, respectively.
