Development and Testing of a Short-Wave Radiation Model for Interpreting ARM Data. Final Report for Period January 15, 1997 - March 15, 2000

[摘要] A research program devoted to improving the understanding of atmospheric radiation processes has been supported by DOE ARM grants with Prof. Qiang Fu as the Principal Investigator. This final report summarizes our research efforts, which emphasizes the findings and their significance to the solar radiative transfer in clear atmospheres, the effects of 3-D cloud fields on the solar radiative energy budget, a better understanding of radiative properties of nonspherical ice crystals, and parameterization of radiation processes for use in the GCMs and satellite remote sensing.
