Description:

This technical memorandum documents the solar radiation computation package currently used in NCEP's models. The solar radiative transfer model includes parameterizations of absorptions by various gases, clouds, and aerosols, as well as scattering by clouds aerosols, and gas molecules. The document also discusses separately various techniques used in the parameterizations for atmospheric aerosol distributions and optical properties, cloud optical properties, and surface albedos.
