Incoming Shortwave Fluxes at the Surface—A Comparison of GCM Results with ObservationsSource: Journal of Climate:;1994:;volume( 007 ):;issue: 001::page 72Author:Garratt, J. R.

Abstract: Evidence is presented that the excess surface net radiation calculated in general circulation models at continental surfaces is mostly due to excess incoming shortwave fluxes. Based on long-term observations from 22 worldwide inland stations and results from four general circulation models the overestimate in models of 20% (11 W m?2) in net radiation on an annual basis compares with 6% (9 W m?2) for shortwave fluxes for the same 22 locations, or 9% (18 W m?2) for a larger set of 93 stations (71 having shortwave fluxes only). For annual fluxes, these differences appear to be significant.
