A Parameterization of the Effective Layer Emission for Infrared Radiation Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of the vertical integration of radiative transfer on cooling rate calculations is studied for different numerical schemes. One involves the effective emitting temperature of a layer (scheme A), and the other ...
Parameterizations for Cloud Overlapping and Shortwave Single-Scattering Properties for Use in General Circulation and Cloud Ensemble Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterizations for cloud single-scattering properties and the scaling of optical thickness in a partial cloudiness condition have been developed for use in atmospheric models. Cloud optical properties are parameterized ...
Parameterization for Cloud Longwave Scattering for Use in Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization for the scattering of thermal infrared (longwave) radiation by clouds has been developed based on discrete-ordinate multiple-scattering calculations. The effect of backscattering is folded into the ...
