Photodissociation in the atmosphere: 1. Actinic flux and the effects of ground reflections and clouds
Abstract
The actinic flux must be distinguished from other radiometric quantities such as the irradiance. This distinction shows that (1) a fraction of the recent atmospheric chemistry literature contains improperly calculated rates of photodissociation, and (2) photodissociation rate coefficients inside clouds, and particularly inside cloud droplets, can frequently exceed the clear‐sky values, in contrast to current usage in cloud chemistry models. Both of these findings are traceable to the ∼2 cos θ factor incurred in the actinic flux (but not in the irradiance) when the solar beam is scattered and diffused into nearly isotropic light.

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.
