Application of Stochastic Radiative Transfer Theory to the ARM Cloud-Radiative Parameterization Problem
This project had two primary goals: (1) development of stochastic radiative transfer as a parameterization that could be employed in an AGCM environment, and (2) exploration of the stochastic approach as a means for representing shortwave radiative transfer through mixed-phase layer clouds. To achie...
