From there via radiative transfer model and assuming known lapse rate, we'll get to the surface and obtain F = h (R, θ, φ)-RSB- with h some other function depending on g (note that h, so F depends also on the choice of R e.g the choice where the atmosphere «stops») Last step is just to differentiate F because we need dF in the second integral.
