Abstract: A 3D broadband solar radiative transfer scheme is formulated by integrating a Monte Carlo photon transport algorithm with the Fu?Liou radiation model. It is applied to fields of tropical mesoscale convective clouds and ...

Abstract: A systematic formulation of various radiative transfer parameterizations is presented, including the absorption approximation (AA), δ-two-stream approximation (D2S), δ-four-stream approximation (D4S), and δ-two- and ...
