Transfer of Infrared and Visible Radiation through Clouds of Finite Horizontal and Vertical Extent.

Abstract

Grant DAAG29-78-G-0109 provided resources to investigate radiative transfer through non-stratified clouds. This study was addressed to the computation of solar and infrared flux and intensifies through horizontally finite clouds. The theory of these transfer processes was implemented by Monte Carlo techniques as well as by analytical models that could be rapidly implemented. Models developed under this grant will be applicable to models of climate and general circulation. The results of this study will also be applicable to remote sensing measurements obtained near turbulently dispersed smoke clouds. (Author)
