Monte Carlo Code for Evaluating the Boundary Layer Illumination and Radiation Balance Model (BLIRB).

Abstract

The AGGIE Monte Carlo code was modified by providing an output file giving information on the location and direction of motion for each source photon and collided photon during a run. The CUBCLD1 code was developed to analyze the collision file to determine the polar and azimuthal angle distribution of the photons escaping from each side of a box-shaped cloud. The AGGIE code was modified to evaluate hemispheric emission from a box-shaped cloud. The modified code was used to provide calculational data for both a sunlight source and ground and cloud emission. The results were compared to data reported by McKee and Cox; Harshvardhan, Weinmann, and Davies; and Zardecki. The comparison shows that AGGIE is capable of providing accurate radiation transport data used for validating the BLIRB code. jg
