Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Scattering Parameterization in Thermal Infrared Radiative Transfer
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic formulation of various radiative transfer parameterizations is presented, including the absorption approximation (AA), δ-two-stream approximation (D2S), and D4S, in a consistent manner for thermal infrared flux calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: These algorithms are a prototype for the system that will produce the scientific data required for studying the role of clouds and radiation in the Earth's climate system, and are fundamental to the ability to understand, detect, and predict global climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements of top-of-atmosphere and surface irradiance computations with CALIPSO-, CloudSat-, and MODIS-derived cloud and aerosol properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the A-Train constellation is used to estimate the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and surface shortwave and long-wave irradiances.
Journal ArticleDOI
A parameterization of ocean surface albedo
TL;DR: Jin et al. as discussed by the authors used a validated coupled ocean-atmosphere radiative transfer model to estimate the ocean surface albedo look up table in terms of four important physical parameters: solar zenith angle, wind speed, transmission by atmospheric cloud/aerosol, and ocean chlorophyll concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Albedo Field and Cloud Radiative Forcing Produced by a General Circulation Model with Internally Generated Cloud Optics
TL;DR: In this article, a general circulation model (GCM) study is presented in which cloud radiative properties are computed from cloud liquid water content inferred from the GCM hydrological cycle.
