RISFull-Spectrum Correlated-k Distribution for Shortwave Atmospheric Radiative Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The full-spectrum correlated k-distribution (FSCK) method, originally developed for applications in combustion systems, is adapted for use in shortwave atmospheric radiative transfer. By weighting k distributions by the ...
Estimation of Errors in Two-Stream Approximations of the Solar Radiative Transfer Equation for Cloudy-Sky Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: olar flux densities and heating rates predicted by a broadband, multilayer δ-Eddington two-stream approximation are compared to estimates from a Monte Carlo model that uses detailed descriptions of cloud particle phase ...
A Global Climatology of Outgoing Longwave Spectral Cloud Radiative Effect and Associated Effective Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ongwave (LW) spectral flux and cloud radiative effect (CRE) are important for understanding the earth?s radiation budget and cloud?radiation interaction. Here, the authors extend their previous algorithms to collocated ...
Longwave Band-By-Band Cloud Radiative Effect and Its Application in GCM Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he cloud radiative effect (CRE) of each longwave (LW) absorption band of a GCM?s radiation code is uniquely valuable for GCM evaluation because 1) comparing band-by-band CRE avoids the compensating biases in the broadband ...
Evaluating the Diurnal Cycle of Upper-Tropospheric Ice Clouds in Climate Models Using SMILES Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pper-tropospheric ice cloud measurements from the Superconducting Submillimeter Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) on the International Space Station (ISS) are used to study the diurnal cycle of upper-tropospheric ice cloud ...
