RISImprovements in the Shortwave Cloud-free Radiation Budget Accuracy. Part I: Numerical Study Including Surface Anisotropy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shortwave radiation field, i.e., in the solar spectral range, emerging at the top of the atmosphere is anisotropic due to the optical properties of the atmosphere and the reflectance characteristics of the underlying ...
Improvements in the Shortwave Cloud-free Radiation Budget Accuracy. Part II: Experimental Study Including Mixed Surface Albedos
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is presented to obtain area mean radiant flux densities at the surface in the solar spectral range in cloud-free conditions. This is accomplished by fitting a realistic radiation model with actual atmospheric data ...
Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds: The Software Package OPAC
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The software package OPAC (Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds) is described. It easily provides optical properties in the solar and terrestrial spectral range of atmospheric particulate matter. Microphysical and ...
