A simple question about rayleigh scatter

[sgxl]

Hi, I would like to build a lookup table to perform Rayleigh scatter correction. I have read @robintw’s excellent blog post on calculating Rayleigh reflectance using Py6S。 but I am still confused about some concepts.

I have found two outputs related to Rayleigh scatter of Py6S: sixs_obj.outputs.transmittance_rayleigh_scattering.total and sixs_obj.outputs.atmospheric_intrinsic_reflectance. Can I use these to perform Rayleigh scatter correction?

Ref(TOA) * sixs_obj.outputs.transmittance_rayleigh_scattering.total

I think I lack knowledge about radiative transfer models. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.
