We present results of numerical simulations of flux F and degree of polarization P of light that is reflected by Earth–like extrasolar planets orbiting solar type stars. Our results are presented as functions of the wavelength (from 0.3 to 1.0 µm, with 0.001 µm spectral resolution) and as functions of the planetary phase angle. We use different surface coverages for our model planets, including vegeta-tion and a Fresnel reflecting ocean, and clear and cloudy atmospheres. Our adding-doubling radiative transfer algorithm, which fully includes multiple scattering and polarization, only handles horizontally homogeneous planets, so we simulate fluxes and polarization of horizontally inhomogeneous planets by weighting results obtained for homogen...
