Short summary
A neural-network-based fast forward operator for polarized 3D radiative transfer is presented. The forward operator uses the new InDEpendent column local halF-sphere ApproXimation (IDEFAX). Polarized radiances simulated with IDEFAX and the forward operator were validated against full 3D radiative transfer simulations with MYSTIC and show a significantly improved representation of 3D radiative effects compared to the plane-parallel independent column approximation at comparable computation times.
