Description
Summary:We present results from a 3-D radiative transfer simulation of The SAMCRT code treats surface-radiation processes in fine the radiation environment of Palmer Station, Antarctica. The detail, at the expense of somewhat simplified atmospheric model results for several wavelength bands in the SW indicate treatment, at least as compared with state-of-the-art that plane-parallel models of either top of the atmosphere atmospheric Monte Carlo RT models. The main physical (TOA) radiance or surface irradiance may produce significant me hanisms treated by SAMCRT are described below. errors when applied to regions of high surface albedo heterogeneity. Since high-latitude clouds tend to show little vertical
