'''DISORT''' (Discrete Ordinates Radiative Transfer Program for a Multi-Layered Plane-Parallel Medium) - general and versatile plane-parallel radiative transfer program applicable to problems from the ultraviolet to the radar regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.  

DISORT is used in many atmospheric radiative transfer codes including [Streamer](/source/Streamer%3A_A_Radiative_Transfer_Model), [MODTRAN](/source/MODTRAN), [RRTM](/source/Rapid_radiative_transfer_model) and [SBDART](/source/SBDART).
