Description

Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for GCMs used to calculate clear-sky broadband radiation fluxes. Uses atmospheric profile inputs to estimate what radiation would be in absence of clouds for comparison with observed all-sky conditions.

Typical Equipment

  • RRTMG radiative transfer models

Output Measurements

  • clear-sky shortwave radiation
  • clear-sky longwave radiation
