An improved small-angle approximation for forward scattering and its use in a fast two-component radiative transfer method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he vector radiative transfer equation is decomposed into two components: a forward and a diffuse component. The forward component is analytically solved with a small-angle approximation. The solution of the forward component ...
ARM’s Progress on Improving Atmospheric Broadband Radiative Fluxes and Heating Rates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Dynamics of Local Circulations in Mountainous Terrain during the RHUBC-II Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Radiative Heating in Underexplored Bands Campaign (RHUBC-II) project was held from August to October 2009 in the Atacama Desert in Chile at 5320-m altitude. Observations from this experiment and a high-resolution numerical ...

Deriving Arctic Cloud Microphysics at Barrow, Alaska: Algorithms, Results, and Radiative Closure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud phase and microphysical properties control the radiative effects of clouds in the climate system and are therefore crucial to characterize in a variety of conditions and locations. An Arctic-specific, ground-based, ...
Improvement of the Simulation of Cloud Longwave Scattering in Broadband Radiative Transfer Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCloud longwave scattering is generally neglected in general circulation models (GCMs), but it plays a significant and highly uncertain role in the atmospheric energy budget as demonstrated in recent studies. To ...
Influence of Ice Particle Surface Roughening on the Global Cloud Radiative Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ce clouds influence the climate system by changing the radiation budget and large-scale circulation. Therefore, climate models need to have an accurate representation of ice clouds and their radiative effects. In this ...
