Welcome
to the Website of AER's
Radiative
Transfer Working Group
Measurement/Model comparison for high water case from
22 July 2001 from ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) .
The top panel is the downwelling
radiance at the surface measured by the AERI
instrument (U. of Wisconsin).
The bottom three panels are residual
plots (AERI - LBLRTM)
for
(a) CKD 2.4.1 with the HITRAN96 spectral line parameters,
(b) new MT_CKD_1.0 continuum
with
the HITRAN2000 updated spectral line parameters and
(c) same a plot (b) except that the nominal HCOOH
profile is increased by a factor of 18.
|
The foundation of our research
and model development is the validation of line-by-line radiative transfer
calculations with accurate high-resolution measurements.
