N2 - This paper is focused on a Monte Carlo based projective algorithm for the estimation of bidirectional angular characteristics of scattered polarized radiation in the context of different sets of basic functions, normalized with certain weights. We consider hemispherical harmonics designed on the basis of associated shifted Jacobi polynomials in comparison with those designed as a factorization of modified Jacobi and Legendre polynomials. We provide a review of results of numerical simulation of two-dimensional angular distributions of the radiation intensity and degree of polarization, transmitted through and reflected by optically thick layers of the scattering and absorbing media.
