Delta‐Eddington approximation for solar radiation in the NCAR community climate model
Abstract
Motivated by the desire for a more flexible and general solar radiation calculation in the NCAR community climate model (CCM), the δ‐Eddington approximation has been employed in the CCM version 2 (CCM2). Eighteen spectral intervals span the solar spectrum from 0.2 to 5.0 μm. Absorption parameterizations for H 2 O, O 3, CO 2, and O 2 were developed by making use of the latest theoretical calculations. Water droplet scattering and absorption are parameterized as shown by Slingo (1989). An accurate and efficient convolution of the H 2 O vapor spectrum with water droplet clouds is presented that yields good agreement with available line‐by‐line (LBL) calculations for single‐layer clouds. A simple and efficient method to simulate partial cloud cover and cloud overlap is included. The simulated albedo‐solar zenith angle dependence agrees very well with adding/doubling scattering calculations. The CCM2 δ‐Eddington method will make possible many interesting applications of CCM2 in the years to come.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
