TL;DR: In this article, the performance of 1D solar radiative transfer codes was evaluated in weather and climate models. Emphasis was on interpretation and handling of unresolved clouds, and results for 25 1D codes, which included two line-by-line (LBL) models (Clear and overcast only) and four 3D Monte Carlo (MC) photon transport models (3DMC) were provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameterization of Atmospheric Radiative Transfer. Part I: Validity of Simple Models
TL;DR: The delta-Eddington model and the constant-hemispheric 2- stream models (CHMs) are shown to be superior to other 2-stream methods of solution under this classification and also superior to 4-stream solutions for the many classes of problems relevant to modeling the global atmosphere.
