Abstract:

The model of solar radiative transfer under different atmospheric conditions including spatially inhomogeneous and stochastic clouds is presented. The statistical algorithms for calculation of fluxes and brightness fields in the plane-parallel deterministic model of the atmosphere are described. The results of comparison of radiation calculations in spatially inhomogeneous clouds, performed as a part of the international project "Intercomparison of 3D Radiation Codes" are given. The approaches to accounting for the molecular absorption, implemented in the model, are described, which are based on the transmission function and the photon survival probability.
