Paper Abstract
The radiative transfer (RT) approach is widely used for studying scattering from layered random media with
rough interfaces. Although it has been successful in several applications it is well known that this approach
involves certain approximations. In this paper these assumptions and approximations are reexamined and explained.
To enable this a statistical approach is employed to this problem and the governing equations for the
first and second moments of the wave fields are derived. A transition is hence made to arrive at a system of
equations corresponding to that of the RT approach. It is thus found that more conditions are implicitly involved
in the RT approach than generally believed to be necessary.
